Document Summary
Some questions related to the reading: given the different (cid:498)sustainable development(cid:499) challenges for the global. Introduction: why link biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction: the shared geography of biodiversity and poverty, a divergence of opinion on biodiversity - poverty links at the practical level, poverty leading to environmental degradation and copy. Dependence of the poor on biodiversity: which poor, what biodiversity: clear dependence on biodiversity, but not overwhelming. Dependence on biodiversity: insurance and risk coping: agro-biodiversity for food security insurance, wild food products, biodiversity and food security, biodiversity and natural hazard, biodiversity copy. The evidence: the poor benefit from the existence of, and access to, natural resources, rather than biodiversity in its strict sense. Inadequate to conclude that the diversity of biological systems is significant for the livelihood strategies of the poor. Does conserving biodiversity work to reduce poverty: what is the mechanism, how does the mechanism work, which groups of poor benefit from the ntfps, which biodiversity copy.
