Büscher, B. and Fletcher, R. (2020). The Conservation Revolution: Radical Ideas for Saving Nature beyond the Anthropocene. London: Verso.

Büscher and Fletcher argue that mainstream conservation, built on protected areas that separate people from nature, and the newer market-based conservation that prices nature as capital both depend on the capitalist economy that drives biodiversity loss. Their alternative, convivial conservation, replaces protected areas with promoted areas where people live with nature, and includes proposals such as a conservation basic income. The wiki takes from the book the sharpest form of the market critique: a demand for inclusion in conservation finance runs against scholars who regard that finance as part of the problem.
