Abstract
A great deal of research has been conducted on the development of resource management and conservation in the British Empire. However, few studies explain how much and in what way colonial science impacted the beginning of the global governance of natural resources. This paper explores the process by which the global resource management scheme was designed in the United Nations and considers the impact of conservation ideas and practices in the British Empire. It mainly deals with the United Nations Scientific Conference on the Conservation and Utilization of Resources (hereafter UNSCCUR), which was held at Lake Success, New York in 1949. This conference brought together over 700 experts from 52 countries.
