This was a very good suggestion. In order to search the ARSC list-serve go to Conservation On-line (see: http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/ ) and scroll to the bottom of the page.

Permit me to suggest that you browse the archives of this list.

You are covering very broad subjects which have been discussed here at
length - in short, you're in the right group and will probably find most of
the issues and most of the variations of opinion in our history. As for
someone preparing a precis which consolidates those issues - that's what
grad students are for. <VBG>
