Twenty-First Century Conservation in Africa: Contemporary Dilemmas, Future Challenges

Abstract

Africa has been at the receiving end of the monikers of others, from the pejorative 'dark' continent of the 19th century to be labelled more recently, first, as 'hopeless' and then, a decade later, as 'rising' by The Economist. It's high time for Africa to carve out its own epithet. The Conservation Continent is a positive option for many good reasons.
