description: The Big Conservation Lie is a wake up call focused on a field that has been front and centre of many peoples hearts and minds in recent years; The conservation of Africas wildlife. It is a pursuit whose power to inspire is only rivalled by its ability to blind its audience to reality. This book takes the reader through Kenyas conservation industry and the players therein with all their prejudices weaknesses and commitment to causes many of which are indistinguishable from their personalities. It is a call to indigenous Africans to claim their place at the table where the management of their natural resources is being discussed and invites well-meaning donors to look beyond the romantic images and detect the possible role of their money in the disenfranchisement of a people.
