The Journal of Peasant Studies, 2015
Protected areas now encompass nearly 13 percent of Earth's terrestrial surface. Crucially, such protection often denotes exclusion – of farmers, of pastoralists and of forest-dwelling people. Engaging with the biopolitical implications of these displacements, this paper explores the emergence of an increasingly widespread type of resistance to ...

Journal for Nature Conservation, 2020
Abstract My goal in Shafer (2015) was to bring attention to the questionable effectiveness of IUCN protected area (PA) Categories V-VI in preserving biological diversity. I also argued that the primary factors which ensure success in preserving the PA core include the selective allowance of land uses in buffer zones external to the PA and the ...
