Verdict on world's most precious nature reserves: overpopulated, overfarmed and under threat
2001

Details new report 'Common Ground, Common Future' aiming to promote 'ecoagriculture'; the unity of farming and conservation. The recommendations of the report are simple: if farmers can double or even treble food production on land they already use, they will have less need to encroach on pristine areas. That is a drastic break with traditional conservation policies which believes that biodiversity can be preserved simply by fencing it off, and common agriculture techniques. This report states that agriculture and biodiversity are inextricably linked, and as such we must integrate biodiversity preservation into all landscapes.
