Summary

Smithsonian Secretary S. Dillon Ripley expresses his concern that crusading for endangered species is another way for countries to exploit. Ripley describes it as neoimperialism. Although neoimperialism does advocate that the rare species and habitats of the world are international property, it may be turning into another way for the 'haves' to exploit the 'have-nots'.
