Predictions about the success of the Convention on Biological
Diversity (CBD) are pessimistic. It has now become commonplace to
bemoan the scope, ambition, and deeply political nature of a
convention that addresses issues ranging from ecosystems protection
to the exploitation of genetic resources, from conservation to
justice, and from commerce to scientific knowledge. Ten years after
its adoption, how can we assess the difference that the CBD has
made? Is it in danger of collapsing under its own weight or is it
building the foundations of new patterns of relations between
societies and nature? What achievements can we record and what
challenges does it face? In this book, which is unique in its
scope, diversity and the wealth of information it contains,
contributors from a variety of academic disciplines tackle an issue
of enduring importance to the protection of biodiversity and
enhance our understanding of humanity's capacity to reconcile its
various aspirations and halt the destructive path upon which it is
set.
