| Synopsis: |
Sustainable development in practice takes specific forms in particular situations, such as the Pacific Islands. This work shows how the environments and cultures of Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia need to be taken careful account of in fashioning sustainable development projects and strategies. Five research reports from different countries illustrate the damage which orthodox development can do to particular natural resources, including logging, mining, fishing and agriculture. A series of more optimistic case studies point to sustainable alternatives around agriculture, forestry, tourism and in the urban sector. The text blends general and original case study material and includes an introduction to the region. It extends discussion from the Pacific context to wider issues of sustainable development in island societies. |
