This book demonstrates that local communities rarely benefit from the environmentally sound enterprises being promoted in and around threatened habitats, either because those enterprises are unprofitable or because benefits are captured by outsiders providing key services like reliable transportation. The author contends that human capital formation and related productivity-enhancing investment is the only sure path to economic progress and habitat conservation.
