Current academic literature examining race and nature conservation in South Africa has relied mainly on secondary data analysis while neglecting the voices of local communities. This article draws on empirical experience to assess the extent of the impact of race and social equity in conservation, with the aim of promoting sustainable and more inclusive conservation practices in South Africa. Empirical results are drawn from different cases to examine racial equity in conservation. The findings suggest that conservation practices in post-apartheid South Africa are still exclusionary for the majority black population. Promoting more inclusive conservation is complex and requires a broader conservation agenda for more inclusivity and to genuinely tackle issues of poverty. There is a need for conservation groups to also include the previously marginalised in leadership structures and to incorporate indigenous knowledge systems. This will assist in changing the perception of marginalised people that particular persons dominate conservation. The paper further makes specific recommendations on how conservation can become more inclusive across social and race lines.

种族隔离后南非种族与社会平等在自然保护中的重要性

目前研究南非种族和自然保护的学术文献主要依靠次要数据分析,而忽视了当地社区的声音。本文利用经验经验来评估种族和社会公平对保护的影响程度,目的是促进南非的可持续和更具包容性的保护做法。从不同案例中得出经验结果,以检验保护中的种族平等。研究结果表明,种族隔离后的南非的保护措施仍不包括大多数黑人。促进更具包容性的养护是复杂的,需要更广泛的养护议程以提高包容性并真正解决贫困问题。保护团体也需要将以前处于边缘地位的人纳入领导结构,并纳入土著知识体系。这将有助于改变边缘人的观念,即特定的人占主导地位。本文还就如何使保护在社会和种族界限之间更具包容性提出了具体建议。
