Summary
Collection of five papers which discuss the importance of biodiversity. Heffa Schucking and Patrick Anderson analyse the dominant paradigm of conservation and reflect on its lacunae. Andrew Gray describes his experiences with indigenous people of Latin America. Larry Lohmann reflects the conservation strategies of the peasant and forest dwelling communities in the case of Thailand. David Cooper provides a critique of the global biodiversity convention and suggest vital components needed for a meaningful agreement. Vandana Shiva attempts to show that production based on principles of uniformity is the biggest threat to biodiversity.
