520 |a The book analyzes the case of Mau Forest (Kenya), exploring the deforestation process that has occurred and the controversial and changing relationships between a protected forest and the communities living within and around its borders. The volume contributes to the international debate on political ecology from a predominantly geographical perspective, enriched by contributions more closely related to the natural sciences. The study is based on a multi-year research (2017-22) that combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies: research in archives and government offices, field studies in the forest area, semi-structured interviews, participatory mapping with local community members, and satellite and drone remote sensing. 
520 |a Il volume analizza il caso della foresta Mau (Kenya), esplorando il processo di deforestazione occorso e le controverse e mutevoli relazioni che intercorrono tra una foresta protetta e le comunità che vivono all'interno e intorno ai suoi confini. Il volume si inserisce all'interno del dibattito internazionale sull'ecologia politica da una prospettiva prevalentemente geografica, arricchita da contributi più strettamente inerenti le scienze naturali. L'indagine si fonda su una ricerca pluriennale (2017-22) che combina metodologie qualitative e quantitative: ricerche archivistiche e presso uffici governativi, studi di campo nell'area forestale, interviste semi-strutturate, mappatura partecipata con membri delle comunità locali e telerilevamento da satellite e da drone.
