Genes for Sale: Privatization as a Conservation Policy
As the rainforest is destroyed and habitats degraded, conservationists are now urgently searching for dramatic new ways to save these natural economic resources. In this provocative and important book, Vogel examines the idea of the privatisation of genetic information, where private property rights are created over genes. Landowners would thus have a newfound financial incentive to protect what they already control.
