Is poverty relevant to conversation?

Article Abstract:

People derive much of their daily needs from nature, such as cooking fuel from forest, drinking water from the stream and other basic needs from their surroundings in countless poor, rural communities. However, stewarding and restoring ecosystem services can sustain people during their transition out of poverty, such as in Kenya, where the Green Belt Movement has shown how reforesting denuded areas can improve lives by restoring water supplies, providing fuel wood and replenishing soil fertility.

Does conservation matter to the poor?

Article Abstract:

The poorest of the world's poor completely depend on natural resources for their survival and livelihoods and if the environment fails through land degradation or other man-made disasters, hunger and illness are direct consequences. Sustainable environmental practices are therefore vital, but the realities of everyday life limit the capacity of the poor to protect the environment, making poverty a risk factor for environmental degradation and vice versa.
