Many of the earth's remaining wilderness areas are the homelands of the planet's surviving tribal cultures. As the earth's population increases, both these areas and their inhabitants are threatened.

We will examine the historical, biological and socio-political intricacies of preserving cultural and biological diversity. Finally, we will look at some of the solutions that attempt to combine the needs of a developing world with those of conservation.
