摘要:Conservation has the potential to negatively impact nearby communities through readily measurable losses, like economic livelihoods, and those less tangible, like cultural identity and a sense of place-based heritage. In this paper, I analyze interviews with residents living in the border zone of Mozambique’s Limpopo National Park to identify the invisible losses of conservation. Using disemplacement as a critical lens, I illustrate how conservation disrupts the person–place bond that forms between people and the environment they inhabit. Using disemplacement, this paper shows one method to improve our ability to capture, understand, and respond to the invisible losses of conservation.
