Two recent good books are Cambridge's Biodiversity Conservation, Law and Livelihoods: Bridging the North-South Divide (2007) and Environmental Policy Instruments for Conserving Global Biodiversity (Springer 2007). Louka's Biodiversity and Human Rights (2002) is also good. wil

The question is: what are we busy about? - Henry David Thoreau _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Patt Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 5:14 AM To: GEP-Ed Subject: biodiversity conventions Dear GEP-Ed, To fill in for somebody who became ill, I volunteered to teach a module this January on international conventions related to climate and biodiversity. 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!
