A survey of national parks and conservation throughout West Africa. Oakes, who has worked on conservation projects in Africa and India, uses West Africa as a case study to argue against the prevailing notion that wildlife is best protected through small-scale community development. Of primary interest to conservationists, it also offers an interesting theoretical perspective for travelers to the region.
