Indigenous rights entwined with nature conservation

About this book

"This study investigates how nature conservation initiatives interact with the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities from a human rights and legal anthropological perspective. The book is distinctive in that it provides a comprehensive review of international human rights law in the context of nature conservation; a critical appraisal of Peruvian nature conservation legislation in relation to the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities; and a thorough analysis of the interaction between three levels of regulation : the international level of human rights, the national level of Peru, and the local level of a specific protected area (the Güeppí Reserved Zone)"--Jacket.
