Daniel Janzen - Third World Conservation: It's ALL Gardening - Long Now

Thanks in a serious way to Daniel Janzen, an essential part of the Costa Rican economy has become field biology, eco-tourism, and the protection of mega-biodiversity. The nation has become a widely studied model of the wise protection of natural systems. Janzen's particular focus there, the Area de Conservacion Guanacaste, was recently declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. His ongoing Costa Rica work in field taxonomy and innovative conservation practices led to his receiving the Crafoord Prize (1984), the Kyoto Prize (1997), and the Albert Einstein Science Prize (2002). Professor Janzen teaches at the University of Pennsylvania.
