Learning Journeys in Conservation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

By exploring the practical and successful ways in which resilience may be established, this book makes resilience real and achievable. It searches for the ways in which resilience may be created within the web of ecological, socio-economic and cultural systems that make up the world in which we live and upon which all living creatures depend. This learning journey explores both robust and fragile systems and asks questions of groups and individuals actively involved in building or maintaining resilience.
