Abstract:
The research builds on debates about conflicts surrounding territorialisation for conservation. It elaborates on how slow violence can generate covert resistance which in turn transitions toward forms of overt resistance and sudden violence. The research argues that the violent reoccupation of the national parks can be explained by three factors: (i) the failure of peaceful strategies of rightful resistance; (ii) an increase in the level of threats; and (iii) the arrival of opportunities to forge alliances with different stakeholder groups.
