Destroy Here and Destroy There: The Double Exploitation of Biodiversity Offsets

"Let us not forget that the dominant economic model, which is structurally racist and patriarchal, unloads almost all of its destruction, invasion and violence on indigenous peoples and peasant families, so as to keep exploiting, producing and accumulating profits."

The Green Economy as a Continuation of War by Other Means

"War is complex and the green economy is advancing land acquisition and displacement, claiming to fight environmental degradation, while simultaneously advancing it."

Human Rights vs. Right Based Fishing: The Ideological Battleground in Siem Reap

"While many of the ‘usual suspects’ spoke openly about the need for private property, ITQs and similar terms in relation to fisheries governance, some adapted the language and thereby masked their underlying belief in private property as the one and only solution.
