Synopsis:

The Central American region is a vital ecological resource that provides environmental balance for the rest of the American continents. Using comprehensive surveys and statistical studies, this volume presents an evaluation of the region's deforestation, sustainable agriculture, tourism, emerging carbon markets, trade, and growth.

By comparing and contrasting policies applied by other countries with similar environmental characteristics, the contributors argue that Central American governments must learn from the results of these policies in order to manage resources, foster sustainability and competitiveness, and procure positive results.

About the Author: Theodore Panayotou is John Sawhill Lecturer in Environmental Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and former Director of the International Environment Program at the Harvard Institute for International Development.
