Apologies for X-Posts:

Hi,

I'm a grad student studying anthropology and international development.
I'm currently writing a paper about the effectiveness of protected
area/national park/biosphere reserve schemes in: (1)preserving the
environments they were established to; and (2)doing so without having severe
adverse impacts on local populations; or (3)why they fail to do so. I am
especially interested in finding materials which highlight the ultimate causes
of pressures forcing local people to encroach on reserved lands (as opposed to
_proximate_ causes such as population, fuelwood scarcity, etc.), or which
can refute the convential wisdom that all such encroachment has an extreme
and negative impact.

Stuff I have:
----Books----
Wells & Brandon, "People & Parks"
West & Brechin, "Resident Peoples and Nat'l Parks"
Kiss, "Living with Wildlife"
Machlis & Tichnell, "State of the World's Parks"
Pathak, "Contested Domains"
?, "Natural Connections"
-----Articles-----
"Gorillas" Natl Geogr., Oct '95
"Prospects for Coexistence: WIldlife &Local People" Nepal&Weber, AMBIO June95
"Valuing the Rainforest: The Economic value of Nontimber Forest Products
in Ecuador" Grimes, Loomis, Jahnige, AMBIO Nov94
several other marginally related AMBIO articles

Any and all help appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Chip
