Book excerpt: Things have changed. In 1969 when the Convention for the Conservation of the Vicuña was drafted, in an attempt to save the vicuña from its tumbling decline towards extinction, both the science and the philosophy of wildlife conservation were radically different. It is thus a tribute to the prescience of those involved at the time that the rescue plan had, even through the harsh lens of hindsight, a d- tinctly Twenty First Century flavour. After all, it was predicated on the expectation that if vicuña could be saved, they would one day become a valued asset, generating revenue for the human communities that fostered their survival. Embodied in this aspiration are the main structures of modern biodiversity conservation – not only is it to be underpinned by science, but that science should be of both the natural and the social genres, woven into inter-disciplinarity, and thereby taking heed of e- nomics, governance, ownership and the like, alongside biology. In addition, it should include, as a major strut, the human dimension, taking account of the affected constituencies with their varied stakes in alternative outcomes. This c- temporary framework for thinking about biodiversity conservation is inseparable from such wider, and inherently political, notions as community-based conser- tion and ultimately sustainable use.

Book excerpt: From the 1970s to the present, Chilean artist, poet and filmmaker Cecilia Vicuas (b. 1948) work has used red thread to visually and poetically engage with rituals from Aboriginal Australia, South Africa, Paleolithic Europe and pre-Columbian America. Vicuas performances, site-specific installations, paintings and drawings relate to the symbolic function of textile and language in terms of femininity, maternity and the support and continuation of life. Published on the occasion of Vicuas installation in Athens for dOCUMENTA (14), Read Thread tells the story of the sanguine thread in Vicuas worka kind of weaving-as-writingand conveys the tension of ecological disaster and reparation as well as a bodily sense of the cosmic scale of landscape, history and time. Alongside historical and recent documentation of Vicuas large-scale installations, the softcover publication extensively illustrates her drawings, poetic texts and narratives relating the works to their political and historical context. Essays by dOCUMENTA (14) curator Dieter Roelstraete and art historian Jos de Nordenflycht Concha complete the book.

Book excerpt: The Vicuña-an animal with near-mythical characteristics that you may have never heard of. For centuries, the Vicuña's story lay hidden 16,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Now, in the first-ever comprehensive book dedicated to the Vicuña, Mike Safley weaves a tale as fine and as delicate as the Vicuña's priceless fleece. Once thought by ancient Peruvian animists to be a deity, Vicuñas roamed the Andes in millions, protected by their sacred status. However, as time marched on, so did the Vicuña's journey to endangered species designation. Poachers realized that the Vicuña fleece could fetch riches beyond their imaginations. To the outside world, the Vicuña fleece was worth more than gold, and everyone wanted a piece of the action. Within years, the once-prosperous Vicuña herds dwindled, and as recently as 1970, only 1,000 Vicuñas remained in the Pampa Galeras Reserve. Peruvians had a decision to make-watch the Vicuñas vanish in front of their eyes or do something about it. What follows is one of the great untold conservation efforts in history. Working together, the international fashion industry, the Peruvian government, and Andean shepherds formed an unlikely marriage that pulled the Vicuña back from the brink of extinction. The story of these improbable partners plays on the following pages in never-before-published pictures. In addition to illuminating what makes the Vicuña one of the most captivating animals in the world, this book will show its readers why the Vicuña's conservation model can help save other endangered animals from an untimely fate.
