Alternatives to Deforestationexplores some of the possible sustainable uses of the world's largest rain forest, the Amazon. The collection by scientists, policymakers, and foundations presents innovative approaches and technologies that will permit simultaneous use and conservation of the rain forest, and will benefit the population of Amazonia as a whole, rather than just a small rural minority. By presenting sustainable land-use alternatives that are both economically viable and ecologically sound, this book represents a valuable contribution in the effort to end the tragic consequences of tropical deforestation.Anderson, Anthony B. is the author of 'Alternatives to Deforestation Steps Toward Sustainable Use of the Amazon Rain Forest' with ISBN 9780231068932 and ISBN 023106893X.
