Sustainable Business” by CJ Meadows
€29
What would you get if you combined an entrepreneur, a technologist, a financier and a strategist/ecologist with an international chef, a business lawyer, an architect, etc.? One such team of international leaders created a new model of ecodevelopment (economic and ecological) and introduced it, along with a series of on-the-ground programs, in a village on the outskirts of one of the nine Project Tiger nature reserves in India. This book tells the story of this remarkable center. It argues that to save an endangered species, you have to save its environment, and to save these species, you have to “save” the people who live with them, by providing them with ecologically sensitive means of economic development, without encroaching on the natural environment or aiding poachers.
