Produktbeschreibung
The course of events over the past 100 years might not be consistent with the narrative of deforestation, where old-growth forests progressively disappeared as human populations increased. As systematically re-photographed viewsheds across Rwanda show, the contrary seems likely: increasing numbers of people in the 20th century appear to coincide with an increase in overall standing biomass. Deforestation has been less drastic than previously thought, primarily because of extensive landscape management by fire for pastoralism and subsistence agriculture by local peoples prior to colonial activity. In fact, the overall standing biomass has increased in all re-photographed viewsheds. Linking repeat photography, ecological restoration, and political ecology allow for a critical engagement with long-standing narratives on landscape change and restoration goals and practices.
