An amazing book that showcases global examples of people and communities who are learning to use the world’s resources without compromising them for future generations with examples from different parts of the world including Africa. The book presents the nomadic life in Kenya, food supply in a Peruvian shantytown and a Buddhist monk in Sri Lanka who advises about tree planting and watersheds. Amidst climate change and environmental destruction, this book looks at the world through the eyes of the people who tend it. It helps us appreciate the earth’s resources with a deeper understanding for protection of these precious resources for the future.
