Can Protection of Forests, Farms & Waters be Reconciled with Economic Development?
with Larry Selzer of The Conservation Fund
on Sustainability Now! October 13th, from 5-6 PM
A longstanding debate in the environmental and conservation movements is whether protection of natural resources can be reconciled with their economic development? Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation about this question with Larry Selzer, President and CEO of The Conservation Fund, a Virgina-based nonprofit that buys land for conservation and promotes sustainable economic development. TCF works with public agencies to acquire land and hold it until the agencies are ready to purchase it back. And the organization focuses on protecting working forests and farms, which provide clean air, clean water, and jobs for rural communities.
