Gabon’s conservation policies, particularly the creation of national parks, have led to significant conflicts by excluding local populations from their resource-rich areas. This exclusion has intensified tensions among local communities, NGOs, the State, and the international community. The misuse of natural resources exacerbates these conflicts, complicating reconstruction efforts. The impact of colonization further transforms these disputes, revealing shifts in legal frameworks governing human interactions with renewable resources, while conservation managers wield new power that often contradicts local conservation goals.
