Figure 2 on categories of non-material costs, from the new Thondhlana-led paper in Biological Conservation
Thanks to Gladman Thondhlana for leadership on a new perspective paper in Biological Conservation, Non-material costs of wildlife conservation to local people and their implications for conservation interventions. My placement on this author list emerged from a chat I had with Gladman while walking between hotel and venue during ISSRM in Oshkosh, WI, last year. Americans always rent cars and drive around at conferences but the rest of us have a great time strolling and talking shop. This paper synthesizes literature from a number of countries and contexts to show that more attention is needed to measuring the non-material costs of conservation and designing socially just conservation interventions.
