Publisher's Synopsis
Degradation of the environment and climate change are the most important challenges facing humanity. For thousands of years humanity lived in harmonious relationship with nature. Today, we are in the midst of a rapid transition to a world where human populations are more crowded, more connected and more consuming, simultaneously co-habiting with unparalleled levels of poverty and hunger. Despite the plethora of international negotiations, declarations and treaties, the ground realities continue to deteriorate. Based on comprehensive research, this book attempts to bring out the ground realities and the wisdom of our ancestors in a concise and coherent manner to mitigate this serious threat to humanity.
