Description: This new collection of research on the impact of ecological economics on developing countries and sustainable development takes an innovative approach to the topic. Instead of focusing on the industrialized nations, it presents the views of the developing countries themselves on issues such as wildlife resources, timber production, property rights and land reform, and other steps being taken to implement environmentally sustainable economics around the world.

This is an ideal text for students of natural and social sciences, development professionals, and entrepreneurs seeking opportunities for ecologically sustainable businesses. Academics will find it useful as a source of current research. For anyone interested in exploring the link between man and environment - specifically, the relationship between economics and ecology - Environmental Sustainability is a must.
