Hi,
I am re-thinking in the reading lists for the Master students of this year course of Human Dimensions of Wildlife, and would love to hear from you, which is the top 3/5 MUST read in Human Dimensions of Wildlife?
Please suggest either a chapter in a book or an article. Not an entire book.

Hi SSWG,
It's been a long time. I love this question (re: top 3-5 Human Dimensions of Wildlife readings). Hard to narrow down to five but a few of my favorites include the following. With the exception the last, these bring in a political ecology approach. The first is a true special stand out for me.
Sodikoff 2011 Totem and Taboo Reconsidered: Endangered Species and Moral Practice in Madagascar. In Anthropology of Extinction: Essays on Culture and Species Death
Campbell, L. Local Conservation Practice and Global Discourse: A Political Ecology of Sea Turtle Conservation. Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 97(2), 2007, pp. 313–334
Neumann, R. 2004. Moral and discursive geographies in the war. for biodiversity in Africa. Political Geography 23 (2004) 813–837
The Neumann piece is a classic and pairs well with the next ones on militarized conservation- I’d find it hard to teach human
dimensions of wildlife today without addressing militarized conservation so Lunstrum
2014 Green militarization and Duffy 2014 Waging War to Save Biodiversity are
key there. Lunstrum and Buscher also have separate pieces that delve into the role of social media in perpetuating conservation related violence that might be interesting to students. I can pass along the details if your interested.
Finally (and not political ecology in bent), I’d use this opportunity to draw attention to recent work completed by a young South African scholar who many of us will want to look out for, Robin Cook. Excellent piece on human-ele relations and mobility. Check it out:
Cook, et al. Elephant
movement patterns in relation to human inhabitants in and around the Great
Limpopo Transfrontier Park. Koedoe (South African journal associated with
Kruger National Park) doi:10.4102/koedoe.v57i1.1298
Best of luck with the course planning and thanks all for the great recommendations so far.
Best,
Rebecca Witter
