Tropical Rainforests. Sustainable Management
Description
Ecuador needs to exploit the Amazon's resources to develop, so leaving the forest untouched is not an option. This program looks at the challenges of achieving sustainable management in the Amazon. It explores the political and economic factors that contribute to sustainable management and the role of businesses, governments, indigenous communities and NGOs. Examples include eco-tourism, bio-reserves and conservation, community projects and sustainable agriculture.
