Conservation conflicts have increased in size and number throughout the world. These conflicts include fights over land and protected areas; disputes over rights to access goods like forests and water; and 'illegal' hunting and poaching of endangered or protected species. This project involves analyzing land, forest and wildlife conflicts in the country of Vietnam (and related countries as producers and consumers of exported and imported wildlife goods that move through Vietnam).
This project will systematically assess through newspaper search indexes all land and wildlife conflicts documented for Vietnam since 1990. We will code these conflicts according to various criteria (location of conflict, who was involved, what type of conflict occurred, monetary value of land/species involved in conflict, what the outcome or dispute resolution was). We use this database to analyze the trajectories of conservation conflict in the past 20+ years to determine how conflicts have changed over time (e.g. in location or in terms of species involved) and provide some suggestions on how conservation conflicts might be decreased or addressed more effectively in the future.
