2012: Towards a consolidated critique of Neoliberal Biodiversity Conservation. (original) (raw)

This paper critiques neoliberal biodiversity conservation, arguing that existing literature has inadequately explored the concept. It emphasizes that neoliberal conservation represents a blend of ideology and techniques, positing that nature can only be 'saved' through its commodification under capitalism. By synthesizing various academic contributions and examining the gaps in understanding neoliberalism's impact on conservation, the authors aim to clarify the implications of neoliberal conservation and its relevance to biodiversity and human/nature relations.
