| Research Abstract |
This study explores how and why conservation ideas and practices in the British Empire had a significant impact on global environmentalism in the late 1940s and 50s. First, I examined the process in which colonial land management plans were established, and explained how colonial scientists' conservation ideas were embedded in colonial development plans. Second, i analyzed the arguments of global resource use and conservation in international organizations such as the United Nations and the Food and Agricultural Organization and suggested that the British colonial and ex-colonial scientists played a crucial part in the emerging international cooperation for global resource management.
