"Saving Rainforest with a Stethoscope: Community-led Conservation"

Did you know that for many rainforest communities, the only way to get the money to access healthcare is to destroy the forest upon which their --and the worlds's -- future well-being depends?  When communities are put in the driver's seat and asked to design solutions so that they can thrive and rainforest is protected, they design remarkable intertwined solutions.  The non-profits that Dr. Kinari Webb has founded do just that: match global resources with rainforest communities so that the whole world thrives.  Her memoir, Guardians of the Trees, shares her personal journey from orangutan researcher, through near-death experiences, to helping lead an international non-profit that is scaling globally.
