Kull is an assistant professor with the Department of Geography at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. His research interests include the politics of resource conservation, political ecology, wildland fire, and the social aspects of environmental transformations, particularly in Madagascar, where he has spent 24 months since 1992. This research was made possible by the good will of the tantsaha the author encountered in field sites, as well as, in particular, by Nancy Peluso and her colleagues at the University of California at Berkeley, Joelisoa Ratsirarson at the University of Antananarivo, and numerous researchers, foresters, conservationists, and friends in Madagascar and elsewhere. The research upon which this article is based was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (SBR 9811046), a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency graduate fellowship, and the University of California at Berkeley.
