David I. Theodoropoulos, is an independent
conservation biologist specializing in germplasm
conservation, seed banking, the biology of
anthropogenic dispersal, ethnobotany, scientific
ethics, and 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 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.  

"People cannot discover new lands until they have the
courage to lose sight of the shore" Andre Gide
