Document Summary

Ggrb21 lecture 7 - biodiversity conservation and control. Political ecology forces us to think critically about nature. Article by vayda and walters against political ecology" can be used for paper. Rather than simply blaming the marginalized people, political ecology seeks to show environmental degradation in larger political and economic contexts. Apolitical views to degradation and national disasters are missing the point. Apolitical views require us to ignore the established structure of vulnerability of the area in question, the economy and ecology. Benefits are elsewhere but the cost to the environment is local and felt by vulnerable and poor people. Declining environmental conditions increases exploitation by the local poor. At the root of degradation is the question of justice. In the name of conservation and sustainability", control of natural resources has been taken away from local people/users/producers. People are robbed of the environment and their land.
