- News: Liberia’s forest exploitation over the last half-century has ridden roughshod over customary property rights.
- Perspective: The urban public generally view forest conservation as an unquestionably ‘good thing’ akin to apple pie, motherhood and soccer.
- Feature: Are the ‘rights of nature’ always consistent with human rights? What about organisms such as viruses which can kill people?
- Around the world: Now that the land is ours we have to take care of it.
