Cache: Creating Natural Economies Paperback - 2010
by Spencer B. Beebe; Sam Beebe (Photographer); Foreword by Tom Brokaw
From the jacket flap
Spencer Beebe believes that a more reliable prosperity will elude us until we change our relations with each other and with the rest of the natural world. Cache: Creating Natural Economies provides on-the-ground examples of how we can do this.
Beebe, who has been described as a practical visionary, has been at the forefront of efforts to create more resilient communities, economies, and environments for almost forty years. In the 1970s, he ran the Northwest and Western regional programs of The Nature Conservancy; in the 1980s, he developed The Nature Conservancy International Program, and was founding president of Conservation International, one of the world's largest conservation organizations.
Today Beebe is founder and president of Ecotrust, where his innovations include founding the world's first environment bank; creating a range of programs in fisheries, forestry, food, and farms; establishing an annual awards program that honors and supports the work of indigenous people; and developing new scientific and information tools to improve social, economic, and environmental decision-making.
Cache not only recounts Beebe's personal journey, but also traces the parallel evolution of the environmental movement and provides fresh thinking about the road ahead.
It is a book for business people who wish to build businesses with more than the bottom-line in mind; for conservationists who wish to get practical results in a world not always sympathetic to their goals; and for people who simply love nature and, like Beebe, try to learn from it. Cache is, in Tom Brokaw's words, an "evocative and inspirational book."
