\"the world\'s biodiversity should be conserved - whether in situ or in designated areas - but it should be conserved for people\'s benefit, not at their expense. Conservation should be for aesthetic pleasure, forward-planning, improved crop and food productivity. As I discovered in India - where sanctuaries created to \'protect\' species have virtually turned people into animals and animals into the kings of the jungle - there are dangers when species protection is put before human interest.\"
