Kramer on what it takes to make conservation stick in Latin America
Dave Kramer and a colleague were recently invited to speak at Darmouth about what it takes to make green development stick in Latin America:
Resilience. It certainly wasn’t the first word we ever uttered at Dartmouth as very green undergraduates, but it defined our time there in different ways. From the survival lessons brutally served up by first New Hampshire winters to the taste of a whole new level of academic rigor and competition, Dartmouth has a way of forcing people to step up to the plate.
We recently had a chance to return to Dartmouth and rise to the occasion. Invited to return as “wise alums” and facilitate a conversation with undergraduates in an environmental studies class and a general audience in the Sustainability Solutions Cafe, we spoke about what we believe it takes to make conservation stick –and to be truly sustainable, carried forward by the exemplary rural communities with whom EcoLogic works in Latin America.
