This small book contains big lessons on sustainable resource management that Dr. Percy E. Sajise, a Filipino ecologist and environmentalist, has distilled from his more than four decades of professional work primarily in Asia and the Pacific.
The book underscores the importance of the interdisciplinary approach and networking to effective environmental management, enhanced sustainable development, and biodiversity conservation. The notion of the primacy of people’s well-being in development work runs throughout the book. Students and practitioners of environmental science, ecology, and development would find many golden nuggets of wisdom in the book.
