In this innovative book, Laura E. Huggins finds path breaking
entrepreneurial solutions to difficult environmental challenges in
some of the world's poorest areas.The approaches entrepreneurs are
taking to these challenges involve establishing property rights and
encouraging market exchange. From beehives to barbed wire, these
tools are creating positive incentives and promoting both economic
development and environmental improvements. The case studies are
from the developing world and reveal where the biggest victories
for less poverty and more conservation can be won. The pursuit
begins by learning from local people solving local problems.
Environmental Entrepreneurship encourages a broad audience to
consider secure property rights and free markets as key ingredients
to moving out of poverty and improving environmental quality at the
same time. It will appeal to academics and students of
environmental studies, environmental economics, environmental
policy, as well as international development and business.
Entrepreneurs and environmental groups such as The Nature
Conservancy, Conservation International, and The World Resources
Institute will also find a wealth of invaluable information in this
book. Contents: 1. Markets Meet the Environment in Unexpected
