Tony:
Simon Lyster's book _International Wildlife Law_ (Grotius Publications, 1985) is the best historical overview, though it has nothing on the CBD or anything else more recent than its publication date.

I know painfully little about the latter. Can anybody suggest some basic introductory and/or interesting readings on the convention on biodiversity, CITES, and any other related conventions? I know this is asking a lot, but if people could point me to their syllabi or readings dealing with the basic issues around MEAs in general, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
