[ED: Taschenbuch / Paperback], [PU: VDM Verlag Dr. Müller], More forests have been destroyed globally in the last fifty years than in the previous five hundred years. Pesticide over-use in modern agriculture is causing long-term contamination of the soil, food chain, water table, and wildlife, and endangers the health of the end consumer. Both contribute to a crisis of living systems amongst the poor who depend on natural resources for survival. What is at stake for our species if all but a few islands of forests eventually fall and planetary biodiversity plummets? Are there viable ways to sustain and even make more abundant natural resources, while also making humans more prosperous? Using rural Central America as a focus region with specific case studies in Nicaragua, this book defines a framework for Payment for Environmental Services (PES) and points to specific examples of PES in watershed services, organic agriculture and agroforestry, community-based ecotourism, and small business initiatives in a protected area. This book is intended for all those concerned with both poverty alleviation and environmental protection, and searching for common ground between the two., DE, [SC: 0.00], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, 220 mm, 80, Selbstabholung und Barzahlung, PayPal, offene Rechnung, Banküberweisung, Interntationaler Versand<
