Description: Wildlife conservation policy is often discussed within the broader debates of sustainable development. The case study of Zimbabwe illustrates how the politically controversial policy agenda of wildlife utilization is part of the wider realm of global environmental politics. Is African wildlife under threat mainly from African people? Large scale poaching feeds an international demand for ivory and rhino horn. Is there a conflict between the ideologies of preservation & conservation? Preservation' is concerned with protecting a habitat from any use; conservation' allows for managed use. Are conservation strategies politically neutral? The way that wildlife issues are presented masks the inherently political nature of conservation policy-making at the local, national & international levels. Rosaleen Duffy is a Lecturer in Geography at Edinburgh University
