Human-wildlife conflicts are today an integral part
of the rural development discourse. These conflicts
often occur when a wild animal crosses a perceived
borderline between nature and culture, between the
domesticated and the wild, and enters into the realms
of the other. This borderline marks a perceived
division of spatial content in our senses of place.
Contemporary wildlife conservation faces serious
challenges in trying to form a balance between human
needs and survival of endangered wild animal species,
as it is increasingly taking place in heavily
human-affected ecosystems. This book studies the
spatial dimensions of human-wildlife conflicts in
borderland communities in the Liwale district,
Tanzania, where humans and free roaming wild animals
share space. The author investigates the inclusion
and exclusion of certain wild animal species from
particular types of spaces and explains the causes of
human-wildlife conflicts through locally perceived
nature-culture borderlands. Wild animals which
intrude into domesticated spaces become subjects 'out
of space' and challenge the total control of humans
over natural elements in these spaces.
