EAG Links
Welcome
to the EAG Links section! Here you will find information
supporting the website's main topics - ecosystem restoration,
ecological assets, and the environmental marketplace
- in all their many manifestations. We believe these
links will be of interest to others, if only because
we found them so interesting ourselves!
If
you have links to recommend, or discover something about
the current links that you'd like to share, please feel
free to contact us via email
or via the EAG
Forum.
Eco-Tourism
These sites demonstrate the value
of in-tact ecosystems supporting biodiversity, cultural
diversity, aesthetics and history.
Earth
in Space
Here are sites demonstrating the interconnectedness
or dynamics of the continents, the oceans, the global
climate and/or of the earth as a whole in relation to
the solar system … and beyond.
Art
& Music
Art and music helps anchor us to our local communities,
and helps us to understand our relationships with other
nationalities as well as other species. Eco-art and
eco-music may sound like unusual categories in this
genre', but believe it or not, there is a wealth of
information (and experience!) to share.
Nature
& Mythology
For perhaps 20,000 years nature has figured prominently
in the history and experience of human beings. Humanity
has translated this relationship in a multitude of ways
that inform, educate, and entertain.
Urban
Infrastructure
Looking into the future, we see bold new developments
taking shape in the fields of design architecture, manufacturing
& construction, recycling & reuse, government,
and the social sciences - to name a few. Creative people
seem determined to bring forth new ideas dedicated to
wise, eco-friendly urban infrastructure.
Environmental
Problems and Solutions
Beginning in the 1970s scientists
and others have expressed concern about the human population,
its rate of growth and our overall quality of life.
In addition, the emerging global economy seems to place
indigenous peoples and micro-cultures at risk. These
links present a variety of perspectives related to these
issues.
Towards
an Economy of Nature
In 1983 ecologist Robert Ricklefs
first published The Economy of Nature, and this
book is now in its 5th edition (W.H. Freeman & Company).
Twenty years later Gretchen Daily and Katherine Ellison
published The New Economy of Nature: The Quest to
Make Conservation Profitable (Island Press, 2003).
The movement towards an ecological economy has been
gaining momentum for two decades, and the sites listed
in this section provide additional insight into the
meaning and implication of this shift.
