High-yield Conservation Declaration Signers Honored by Activists

At least they’re paying attention

The High-Yield Conservation Declaration hosted by the Center for Global Food Issues has achieved one minor measure of success, if a recent article from a “whactivist” newsletter is any indication.

According to the article, the High-Yield Conservation Declaration is merely a tool of big agribusinesses to “greenwash” in an effort that is “beyond the limits of sportsmanship.”

We’re not sure which of the Declaration’s initial signees is supposed to be the corporate puppetmaster. Is it one of the two Nobel Peace Prize Laureates? Perhaps it is Greenpeace co-founder, Patrick Moore. Is it Dr. James Lovelock, author of The Gaia Theory? Maybe it’s Senator Rudy Boschwitz or Senator George McGovern?

Even the president of Conservation International, surely no corporate lackey, has expressed the need for high-yield forestry to conserve wildlife habitats (see full article.)

In any event, the activist rocket-scientists are paying attention and spelling the names right, so we’ll take the free publicity and hope that a few more conservationists will sign on to the Declaration, which now has more than 750 signees from more than 50 countries.
