Tracing its roots to colonialism, the prevailing conservation model — often described as exclusionary conservation or ‘fortress conservation’—regards humans as separate from nature. It is a top-down conservation approach that views the people who have traditionally occupied, owned or used these lands as a threat to its sustainable wildlife and natural resource management.
