The Little Sustainable Landscapes Book: Achieving sustainable development through integrated landscape management
The Little Sustainable Landscapes Book: Achieving sustainable development through integrated landscape management' aims to clarify and disseminate sustainable landscape management methods and catalyze their implementation across private and public sectors worldwide. The book was produced by experts from the Global Canopy Programme (GCP), EcoAgriculture Partners, the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), with additional support and funding from diverse bilateral and multilateral development agencies. The authors relay the case for tackling complex development challenges, such as the depletion of underground aquifers, wildlife habitat loss, water pollution and adaptation to climate change - at the landscape scale, underscoring that this approach offers the opportunity to address a far greater composite of factors across sectors and stakeholders from the outset. They note that the approach “should increase the probability of successful outcomes.”
