Our Living Planet
Success stories and promising concepts

The message of this book is simple: our planet is fascinatingly beautiful and it is unique. You only have to look. The reports in this volume take us to places of hope and optimism. They tell us about concepts and successes in finding solutions for local and global problems. They are about people who act for themselves, for others and for Planet Earth.

This book has two main messages:

Firstly: Despite all the threats from uncontrolled exploitation, wastefulness and pollution, our planet is fascinatingly beautiful and unique. You only have to look.

Secondly: There are networks of people, ideas and very specific projects which all have a common goal, even though they are realised in completely different locations, in different ways and under different circumstances: the preservation of Nature and our environment.

And it’s really true: there are indeed countless people who not only think and talk but also make the decisive step - they act. They develop projects on all the continents in order to protect species and their habitats. Companies large and small all over the world promote and support these projects or initiate campaigns of their own. It is not only industry that is becoming more globalised, human awareness is following suit. It is this thoroughly positive globalisation, which is devoid of negative side-effects, that is the subject of this book. It shows our planet from its most beautiful side. It takes us to places of hope and optimism. This book is about people who act – for themselves, for others, for Planet Earth.
