Summary
Roger Few: Caring for the Earth: A Strategy for Survival
This is a book for everyone from national and industry leaders to individual citizens. Fully illustrated with color photographs from around the world, this strategy offers the reader a practical guide to the principles and actions on which the future of our societies depends. The first part explains the issues of nature conservation and social and economic development. The second part deals more deeply with the problems of human activity and the environment; each chapter deals with one area - such as forests, oceans, agricultural and grazing lands, and industry and trade - and ends with a series of priority actions that summarize the needs and show the way forward. The last part of the book deals with the implementation of the proposed strategies and provides further, more detailed plans. Armed with this book - a popular adaptation of Care for the Earth: A Strategy for Sustainable Living - readers can consider their personal behavior and lifestyle in light of the proposed actions and evaluate the policies and practices of the communities, groups and nations to which they belong.
