The law of the mother : protecting indigenous peoples in protected areas
    McNeely, Jeffrey A.

Compiled by WWF in collaboration with IUCN, this document offers a comprehensive view of how to design and implement conservation projects to provide for local peoples, wildlife, and the land itself. Written by scientists, environmentalists, and representatives of NGOs working on every continent, the essays in this collection also note areas of continuing conflict, such as issues of ownership, but also describe how "creative communities" are experimenting with innovative solutions to the political, ecological, and human challenges that protected area managers must overcome.

Caring for the earth : a strategy for survival
    Burke, John | Few, Roger | Holdgate, Martin W. | Munro, David A.

Caring for the Earth: A Strategy for Survival is a book for everybody from national leaders and the heads of industry to individual citizens. Fully illustrated in colour with photographs from around the world, this strategy offers the reader a practical guide to the principles and actions on which the future of our societies depends.; The first part of the book explains the issues of conservation and of social and economic development. The second looks more deeply into the problems of human activity and the environment; each chapter deals with one area -- such as forests, oceans, farm and range lands, and industry and commerce -- and ends with a series of priority actions that summarize needs and point the way to the future. The final part of the book looks at the implementation of the proposed strategies, and gives further, more detailed plans.; Armed with this book -- a popular adaptation of Caring for the Earth: A Strategy for Sustainable Living -- readers can consider their personal behaviour and lifestyles in the light of the actions proposed, and assess the policies and practices of the communities, groups and nations to which they belong.

Guidelines on the conservation of medicinal plants
   

Eighty per cent of the world's population depends on traditional medicine for its primary health care needs, a system of medicine in which most of the drugs and cures used come from plants. Yet many of the plant involved are increasingly threatened. These Guidelines outline in clear steps the tasks that need to be done to conserve them. Of interest primarily to nature conservationists and health policy-makers, but also to ethnobiologists, ecologists, agronomists and pharmocologists.
