Roosevelt, conservation, and the revival of democracy

Article Abstract:

Conservationists have now learned a few things about how nature works, the capacities of eco systems and the consequences of blind tinkering and it leads to nostalgic memories of President Roosevelt's president ship. The conservationists are now inspired by President Roosevelt's famous speech where he implores people to preserve from destruction beautiful and wonderful creatures whose existence is threatened by greed and wantonness.

Diversity: Striking a balance

Article Abstract:

According to Kleiman, a conservation biologist, the conservation community seems to continue to do problem definition, priority-setting exercises and strategic planning rather than implementation and evaluation of activities. Enough attention is not being paid to reviewing and evaluating what has been actually accomplished and what lessons are to be learned that will make the efforts more cost-effective.

It's about time: conservation biology and history

Article Abstract:

Conservation biologists benefit from a sense of history. Any practice of conservation biology that excludes history is incomplete. The word conservation indicates an awareness of changes over time, and the impact of present actions on the future. There should be a greater interaction between conservation biologists and environmental historians.
