In this impressively researched, alarming book, Rosaleen Duffy investigates the world of nature conservation, arguing that the Wests attitude to endangered wildlife is shallow, selfcontradictory, and ultimately very damaging. Analyzing the workings of the blackmarket wildlife industry, Duffy points out that illegal trading is often the direct result of Western consumer desires, from coltan for cellular phones to exotic meats sold in London street markets. She looks at the role of ecotourism, showing how Western travelers contributeoften unwittinglyto the destruction of natural environments. Most strikingly, she argues that the imperatives of Westernstyle conservation often result in serious injustice to local people, who are branded as problems and subject to severe restrictions on their way of life and even extrajudicial killings.
