Sustainable Development in Amazonia (eBook, ePUB)

Paradise in the Making

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book questions the assumption that Amazonia's future rests exclusively in sustainability and environmental conservation. It is the first book to argue for an Amazonia strategy that emphasises societal dynamics in deforestation and sustainable development policy. Demystifying utopian views of the rainforest as a troubled paradise, the book explores potential processes by which ordinary settlers can themselves construct a sustainable society.
