The word ""conundrum"" describes a puzzle whose solution also
requires the resolution of a paradox. In this instance, the paradox
starts with two widely held and conflicting assumptions: the
pathway to a modern economy can be achieved by exploiting and
monetising a country's natural resources and the long-term
prosperity of a nation is dependent on the conservation of those
very same natural resources. This book consciously seeks to avoid
the mentality of ""trade-offs"" where pro-development advocates
view conservation efforts as impediments and conservationists are
convinced that development inevitably leads to a loss for nature.
Instead, the author seeks to demonstrate the wise management of a
nation's renewable natural resources will promote better economic
growth and does so by evaluating the opportunities in the still
pristine forests of the Cardamom Mountains and surrounding
landscapes. Resolving the Cardamom Conundrum demands an economic
model that provides robust economic growth, which alleviates
poverty over the short term and eradicates it over the medium term
- any other solution is morally unacceptable and completely
impractical. The author points the way by identifying innovative
options linked to climate finance and low carbon development
strategies that span the economic, social and environmental
dimensions of sustainable development.
