Hey, weren't they the good guys?" - a critical look into conservation in Africa
Book reading and discussion with Olivier van Beemen (author) - Lerato Thakholi (discussant)
African Parks is considered a success story in nature conservation. The NGO has taken over full authority from the state in more than twenty African protected areas, controlling an area the size of Britain. But is its conservation model -- involving mostly white management, backed by a military approach -- still relevant today? After his prize-winning research into Heineken in Africa, journalist Olivier van Beemen once again comes up with a revealing and well-written book, Im Namen der Tiere. He conducted research for more than three years, spoke to almost three hundred sources and traveled to six countries. He was not deterred by four days of imprisonment and an accusation of espionage in Benin, followed by deportation, nor by the persistent resistance or the threat of a multimillion euro claim from African Parks itself.
The event will take place in English with short readings from the book in German.
