I have been following forest conservation in Burma. Rabinowitz hasn't been able to realize the importance of human survival, but he is only talking about the numbers of tigers. Zoa Noam's articles in the Irrawaddy and elsewhere are good critiques of Ranbinowitz. Burmese exiles are no different either. Arguments made by the exiles against conservation is that it generates revenue for the generals. But they rarely talk about the negative impacts of such conservation on local communities.
