Natural Partners: How People in Latin America Are Forging a New Relationship with Their Natural Environment

Roger Hamilton

No 432 in IDB Publications (Books) from Inter-American Development Bank

Abstract: The stories included in this volume were published originally in IDBAmérica and tell of new approaches the people of Latin America and the Caribbean are taking to protect the rainforest, reduce erosion, conserve marine life, create protected areas, and ensure a better future for themselves and their families. These people are learning to sit down with former adversaries and work toward common goals, often finding that opening up their own minds to change is the toughest part.
