Unmasked: Essays on African Ecologica...
For a century, conservation science dismissed Africa’s indigenous ecological knowledge as folklore and paid a measurable ecological price for doing so. Unasked makes the reckoning impossible to avoid. Across eleven wide-ranging essays, Mshenga Mwacharo moves from the sacred groves of Limpopo to the coral reefs of the Western Indian Ocean, building an urgent case that Africa’s richest conservation knowledge was never irrelevant. It was simply never sought.

Whispers in the Savannah by Kibali Ti...
Sometimes, the quietest places hold the loudest lessons. When Otis moves from the busy city to a small village in the heart of the savannah, he never expects the journey will change him forever.
In Whispers of the Savannah, Book One in The Footprint Series, he must navigate a world that feels entirely unfamiliar—where the pace is slower, the surroundings are new, and the question of where he belongs lingers quietly within him.

Set against the rich and vibrant backdrop of the African savannah, this heartwarming story follows the everyday adventures of three young friends as they navigate life, ask questions, and learn to make wise choices. Along the way, they uncover gentle but powerful truths about courage, responsibility, and growing up. More than just a story, Whispers of the Savannah invites young readers to pause, reflect, and see the world around them with fresh eyes—reminding them that sometimes, the quietest moments speak the loudest.

MADARAKA: The Poor Shall Inherit the ...
This book provides a compelling examination of corporate-driven resource extraction on the African continent, which is marked by the exploitation of both people and the environment exclusively for the pursuit of profit for a few, with a specific focus on Kenya. The book meticulously reveals that the socioeconomic and environmental challenges posed by the extractive sector are not isolated incidents but part of a larger, systemic problem. This is underscored by the complex interplay between political economy, corporate globalization, odious debt, public policy, sustainable development, human rights and the rule of law. The book concludes by enjoining the call for a world order in which Africa is not exporting its raw materials, but is the centre of global manufacturing, adding value to its own resources.

Killing for Conservation: Wildlife Po...
Is African wildlife threatened by the economic practices of Africans? Should trade in ivory and rhino horn be banned altogether? The issue of wildlife conservation in Africa has captured the public imagination in the industrialized world, where the prevailing view is that wildlife must be saved and preserved at all costs in the interests of global environmental good.
However, casting wildlife conservation as a politically neutral issue masks the complex economic, political, and social realities of African communities. In Killing for Conservation, Rosaleen Duffy presents the search for a solution to the human versus wildlife conflict in Zimbabwe as a case study of wider issues in the realm of global environmental politics.
What are the economic consequences of a strict preservationist policy for local economies versus a more balanced approach to sustainable utilization? Should the international community deprive developing countries of the right to use their natural resources for the economic benefit of their populations?
How can community development and wildlife preservation be welded together to serve the needs of both? Duffy’s keen analysis underlines the essentially political nature of conservation amid international rhetoric that presents it as an apolitical matter of saving animals.
African Wildlife and Livelihoods: The...
Brief Summary
Recent conservation policies in Africa have followed three main principles:
1) that conservation should be community-based;
2) that things conserved should be managed to achieve both development and conservation goals;
3) that markets should play a role in shaping the incentives for conservation.
The editors and contributors of this volume examine the success or otherwise of these practices in a number of different contexts across the continent.
The Big Conservation Lie: The Untold ...
The Big Conservation Lie' is a wakeup call focused on a field that has been 'front and center' of many people's hearts and minds in recent years; the conservation of Africa's wildlife. It is a pursuit whose power to inspire is only rivalled by its ability to blind its audience to reality.
This book takes the reader through Kenya's conservation 'industry' and the players therein with all their prejudices, weaknesses and commitment to causes, many of which are indistinguishable from their personalities.
It is a call to indigenous Africans to claim their place at the table where the management of their natural resources is being discussed and invites well-meaning donors to look beyond the romantic images and detect the possible role of their money in the disenfranchisement of a people.
