The author addresses the effects that globalism has had on biodiversity and the third world. She uses India as an example to show how an indigenous sense of sacred natural resources was broken down by the Western colonial powers and how this process is being continued by the independent Westernized governments that followed and by international agencies. She also addresses the attrition and exploitation of the Earth’s biodiversity by powerful commercial interests in the first world. She offers a solution in the form of a people’s biodiversity conservation action plan.
