"Editorial: Ecological Visionaries and the Politics of Conservation"

Rajan, S. Ravi, and Peter J. Taylor. “Editorial: Ecological Visionaries and the Politics of Conservation.” Environment and History 3, no. 2, Ecological Visionaries/Ecologised Visions (June, 1997): 127–128. doi:10.3197/096734097779555890. Environmental history and the history of ecology might appear to be natural companions, but in practice the overlap and cross-fertilisation of these fields has been quite limited. This special issue of Environment and History stems from a series of conference sessions that attempted to address this important gap. The sessions, on “The Politics of Conservation,” were co-organised by the editors, along with Gregg Mitman, at the 1995 meetings of the International Society for the History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Biology.
