This thesis explores the role of fear in undermining efforts for an intended transboundary protected area (TBPA) straddling the Virunga volcanoes composed of Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda. Since the borderland - commonly referred to as 'the Virungas' - is world-renowned as the last habitat of endangered mountain gorillas as well as for longstanding intra- and interstate warfare, international organizations promoted a TBPA as a key strategy to simultaneously pursue and integrate nature conservation, economic development and regional peace. Based on fifteen months of fieldwork (2015-2018), this study examines the stark contrast between the compelling TBPA imaginary of a boundless nature overturning colonial borders and violent conflicts, on the one hand, and the complex local realities of fear in relation to persistent conflict informing all aspects of everyday life, on the other. Engaging with the diversity of fears points to the coalescence of conservation- and conflict-related threats, affecting how people perceive, perform, react, respond to and (re)create diverse - social, political and economic - geographies. To explore these multiple geographies of fear in the Virungas, this thesis starts from the premise of emotional human geography that the creation and organization of natural landscapes are both condition for and consequence of human agency shaping and shaped by emotions.Chapter I introduces the two puzzling empirical insights that prompted the research objective and questions. Firstly, militarization and segregation of the three National Parks revealed that the vision of transboundary conservation and collaboration was deemed secondary and hardly relevant for the political and economic interests of the three nation states. Secondly, the experience of various fears in people's everyday lives emanating from conservation and conflict dynamics constituted an omnipresent societal condition. These fears also highlighted the starkly different contexts of the Eastern DRC, characterized by an ostensibly absent government and active, open conflicts between various armed groups, and the so-called 'post-conflict' societies under the rule of the authoritarian regimes in Rwanda and Uganda.In order to study the paradox between peace-promoting TBPA efforts juxtaposed by different forms of 'green' violence (Buscher and Ramutsindela 2016) including 'green' militarisation (Lunstrum 2014), the chapter builds on the political ecology literature for conceptual and theoretical guidance. Throughout the iterative sensemaking process of empirical research and analysis, a conceptualisation of fear gradually developed to encompass the multitude of threats emanating from conservation and conflict dynamics. This focus informed the overarching research question of this thesis: how is fear employed, experienced, and responded to in the conservation-conflict dynamics of the intended Virunga Conservation Area among the DRC, Rwanda and Uganda?To address this question, a novel theoretical framework on geographies of fear brings critical geopolitics (Pain and Smith 2008) and emotional geographies (Bondi et al. 2005) into dialogue with critical conservation studies of political ecology. I hold that this framework provides an emotio-spatial hermeneutic to analyse the interdependencies of fear between transnational dynamics and everyday lives.
