    This follows from their premise which Evans explicitly shares that ecological is the key to environmental knowledge protection. Several recent historical studies have also noted this linkage between science and conservationism; unfortunately, Evans does not address this rich literature.

    In this vein, experts will almost certainly be disappointed by Evans's hesitance to engage with the discourse of Costa Rican exceptionalism. Evans has the annoying tendency to repeat without comment the politicised rhetoric of his subjects and the authoritative opinionsof a few scholars; for example, he briefly recognises Crosby's classification of CostaRica as a 'NeoEurope' despite its racist overtones and lack of analytical utility. Evans provides almost no comparative framework for this study, except for vague allusions to Costa Rica's Central American neighbors.

    His argument is closely tied although implicitly to his subjects' assumption that the state must take the lead in conservation and that Costa Rica was somehow destined to become a model for conservation because of its biogeographical riches.
