Abstract

The conservation of biodiversity is critical not only to the viability of local livelihoods, but also to the very survival of our planet. However, global targets to significantly reduce rates of biodiversity loss by 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity, are far from being met. As the exploitation of natural resources for economic gain intensifies, biodiversity and the subsequent resilience of life-supporting systems are increasingly threatened. Many approaches to conservation have repeatedly failed to achieve their goals, often because they exacerbate the very underlying inequalities that drive the degradation of biodiversity. Overly simplistic approaches that perpetuate unfounded notions of terra nullius neglect to acknowledge the millennia of human interaction with nature and result in the widespread dispossession, marginalization, and impoverishment of Indigenous peoples, local communities, and minorities.
