Popis: | Environmental norms and natural resource management in Betsileo country (Madagascar). Since the 1990s Madagascar has adopted a territorial-based biodiversity conservation policy. The institutional innovation of community-based resource management now coexists with the older expansionist protected areas model. Recent legislation has given the government the authority to enter into contractual arrangements with communities for the management of forests resources. This na- tional environmental policy carries with it a set of regulations that has repercussions not only on physical spacesbut alsoonaccess to and controlofresourcesand theirmarketing.Theseregulationshave generated conflicts over access to and use rights of natural resources.Our study of two rural territoriesin the Betsileo area examines these newly configured spaces of conservation associated with the transfer of renewable natural resource management (TGRNR) institutions to the western slope of the forest corridor. This paper explores the challenge of a community based forest management. The environmental regulations pose restrictionsonresourceusersand theiractivities inthe contextof these conservationterritories,knowledge systems, and power relations. The responses of local actors are inscribed in new socio-spatial strategies and practices. They raise questions about the territorial dimensions of biodiversity preservation policies. |
