Chapter four examines a common mode of conservation biopolitics concerned with saving species from political and ecological change – or conservation as composition. It focuses on the conservation of corncrakes and crofters in the Scottish Hebrides. It traces the scientific, political and economic practices through which their fate has been secured, before identifying some of the problems with this static model.
