Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy Presents
Common Lands and Common
Problems:
How public land is used in Belize and Outer
Mongolia
Mount Lebanon Nature Conservancy
Board Members Pam Burrett and Mike Irwin share their reflections on public land
use in Outer Mongolia and Belize. Their experiences highlight problems in the
use of common lands that we share with these two dramatically different
societies. Pam Burrett will present slides of her recent experiences in
post-Soviet Outer Mongolia. She will talk about problems of common land in a
society modernizing from its nomadic, pastoral life-style. Mike Irwin will present
slides of his recent trips to Belize’s passive use eco-tourism areas. He will discuss
successes and tensions in sustainable development on Belizean public lands. Please join us on November 9th at the Annual
Meeting of the Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy for their presentation on Sunday,
Nov 9th 2-4 pm Meeting Room A in the Mt. Lebanon Public Library.
