PART IV



Recognition of indigenous peoples' interests


The final section is focused upon indigenous peoples' issues and
approaches. The questions raised in this Part bring into sharp focus the
ambiguities and complexities of implementing environmental justice,
either from the perspective of vulnerability, or from the perspective of
human rights. The three chapters all suggest that the most challenging
frontier of environment and justice is the issue of indigenous peoples'
interests, and that responding effectively to these challenges is a funda-
mental concern both for environmental and social justice advocates.
