Hi Wayne,

  It is possible that the manifesto has been caught in between three
worlds. In the world of ecology and conservation the article is not
citable in most research papers, which deal with very specialized
literature. I the world of sociology, which may study the phenomenon of
environmental activism, the journal Biodiversity is unlikely to be known
or read at all. Finally, in the world of activism itself, daily
activities do not include publishing articles and thus citation of the
manifesto, although it may have been read by people involved.

   All the best,

   Alexandre

Honorable Forum:

A search on-line for "precisely ecocentric" on November 9, 2011 results =
in precisely THREE hits. ALL three are from ONE paper, "A Manifesto for =
Earth" ('Biodiversity' Volume 5, No. 1, pages 3 to 9, January/March =
2004) http://www.ecospherics.net/pages/EarthManifesto.html .=20

Can someone tell me why this paper has not been cited at all in almost =
eight years?=20
