- Summary
- "Conservation International (CI) is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection of natural ecosystems and the species that rely on these habitats for survival.".
- "CI follows one simple guideline: Conservation depends on finding ways for people to respect and live harmoniously with nature. In the world's "hotspots", where ecosystems are at the greatest risk of destruction, and other regions of the tropics as well, we blend conservation and development to provide solutions for both local communities and their surrounding habitats.
- Our programs are scientifically based, economically sound, and culturally sensitive - working models that demonstrate how people can thrive while conserving the biological wealth of their land and water."--BOOK JACKET.
