David I. Theodoropoulos, is an independent
conservation biologist specializing in germplasm
conservation, seed banking, the biology of
anthropogenic dispersal, ethnobotany, and scientific
ethics.  He also is actively interested in issues
concerning the biological commons, the cultural
commons, belief-systems in science, intellectual
property, centralization/control vs.
decentralization/decontrol, and man-nature
relationships.  His special interest is study of the
history, structure and development of the
pseudoscience of invasion biology. 
David is an accomplished ethnobotanist, having worked
with a Zapotec/mestizo community for over 25 years. 
In 1973 he established a grassroots, public-access
seed bank, The J.L. Hudson Ethnobotanical Catalog of
Seeds - Preservation Through Dissemination. 
In 1988, he established Las Sombras Biological
Preserve for the preservation, study, and long-term
ecological research into the local biota, and for the
ex situ preservation of threatened plants. Currently,
David maintains ex situ populations of plants which
are threatened or of conservation concern, from South
America, MesoAmerica, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia,
and eastern North America, as well as Californian
plants of concern.
He is a member of a variety of scientific
organizations dedicated to expanding the boundaries of
knowledge about biology, botany, restoration ecology,
ethnobiology, and wild lands preservation.  David has
published widely on topics related to his areas of
research as well as presented his ideas at conferences
and meetings
