摘要

印度保护老虎的主要理念是优先考虑建立不受人类干扰的老虎保护区。这种保护区为 "照顾 "老虎提供了急需的领地。在本文中，我们研究了印度老虎保护的生物政治学，并认为目前的老虎保护方法扩大了自然与文化之间的鸿沟，忽视了保护区景观中更多关于人类与非人类纠葛的其他老虎保护想象。本文认为，老虎保护一直是主权、纪律和新自由主义环境的混合体，所有这些都建立在关于老虎的某种 "真相 "之上。论文对作为老虎保护基础的 "真理 "论述提出了质疑和担忧，并认为老虎保护使穷人的环保主义边缘化。本文提出了对老虎真相进行更多辩论和讨论的理由，并建议有必要采用一种超越人类的方法来保护老虎，这种方法应认识到堡垒式保护的不利后果及其在超越人类的地理环境中保护老虎的局限性。

Tiger conservation, biopolitics and the future of Indian environmentalism

Tiger conservation in India has been driven for the most part by a philosophy that prioritizes the need for inviolate tiger reserves free of human beings. Such reserves, it is argued, provide much needed territory to ‘care’ for the tiger. In this paper, we examine the biopolitics of tiger conservation in India and argue that the current approach to tiger conservation amplifies the nature‐culture divide and ignores other imaginations of tiger conservation that are more cognizant of human—non‐human entanglements in protected area landscapes. The paper argues that tiger conservation has been a mix of sovereign, disciplinary and neoliberal environmentalities, all built on a certain ‘truth’ about tigers. The paper raises questions and concerns about the ‘truth’ discourse that underlies tiger conservation and also argues that tiger conservation has marginalized the environmentalism of the poor. It makes the case for more debate and discussion about tiger truths and suggests the need for a more than human approach to tiger conservation that recognizes the adverse consequences of fortress conservation as well as its limits in caring for the tiger in more than human geographies.

期刊介绍： The Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography is an international, multidisciplinary journal jointly published three times a year by the Department of Geography, National University of Singapore, and Wiley-Blackwell. The SJTG provides a forum for discussion of problems and issues in the tropical world; it includes theoretical and empirical articles that deal with the physical and human environments and developmental issues from geographical and interrelated disciplinary viewpoints. We welcome contributions from geographers as well as other scholars from the humanities, social sciences and environmental sciences with an interest in tropical research.
