Karanth, K.U.
Debating Conservation as if Reality Matters
2003  Conservation and Society (1): 65-68

Madhusudan and Shankar Raman provide a cogent overview of the main issues in the ongoing academic debate between proponents of two conflicting paradigms that concern conservation efforts in India: preservation versus sustainable use of biodiversity. Because I tend to agree with the authors on many of these issues (Karanth 1998, 2000), these do not bear repetition in a brief response. Therefore, I restrict myself to points on which I hold somewhat different views.
