Abstract

Substitution-oriented discourses claim that substituting alternatives to forest product use, (such as improved farming), developing alternative sources of income outside the forest (such as eco-tourism), or compensating rural peoples for loss of use, will reduce pressure on forests and lead to improved biodiversity conservation. These emphasise a physical de-linking of conservation and development. Pro-nature discourses frame livelihood issues from eco-centric perspectives. Improved livelihoods are viewed as an incentive issue, and promoted to encourage local people to have a robust and durable interest in the conservation of biological resources of interest to the larger international community. In this framing, people tend to be seen as ‘a resource’ for conservation.
