Thanks, Sue. I'll keep tugging on this thread. I think it's an angle that doesn't get enough traction among conservationists.

There's a book that came out a couple years ago I really liked called "Strange Harvests: The Hidden Histories of Seven Natural Objects," by Edward Posnett, that made me think about the balance of use vs. commodification in different ways. Also the short Canadian documentaries "Angry Inuk" and "People of a Feather."

Thanks for this! Not cheery, but important to know.

Thanks, Joe. I've been in contact with Ulbe Bosma, and hope to write more about CFI's work.
