Rebuilding Communities brings together the ideas, the stories, and the struggles of people from many walks of life: all are concerned with restoring the health and vitality of communities, and the natural environments within which they live.
The book includes may inspiring examples, such as that of the Finnish Village Action Network, which has had a significant effect in reversing rural decline. There are many other illuminating case studies, including several from the CADISPA (Conservation and Development in Sparsely Populated Areas) projects which are currently being undertaken by WWF with local organisations in Portugal, Spain, Scotland, Italy, and Greece. These include the revival of traditional crafts such as weaving, and the development of eco-tourism in certain areas. The contributors also look at the environmental impact of economic development in rural areas, and the related global issues of sustainable resource use and agricultural biodiversity.
