Keep up with what I've been doing
Team goals:
- investigate and evaluate the economic and social cost/benifit
relationship of preserving the Amazon
- investigate and evaluate past development of the region and its social
and economic impact
-applying these judgments to the Mission's proposed plan of sustainable
development
-to develop strategies to maintain or improve local economic and social
stability and counteract possible adjustments inherent to the Mission plan.
-analyze the present economic status as well as possible ramifications
of the projects on the region, both on a local scale, and in a global context.
examples of pertinent factors may include:
-the effects of limitations on exported goods.
-the effects tourism-related changes.
-the effects of foreign economic intrusion into the region.
-analyze the present social conditions as well as possible ramifications
of the projects on Amazonian society. Examples of pertinent factors may
include:
-the ethics of restrictive policies that limit the behavior
of indigenious populations
-the cultural awareness of the project
-forcasting the response of Amazonian society to the project.
-plan a budget for the project and allocate money to each aspect that
requires funds
-research into possible sources of funding for the project
-determine to what extent preservation of the rainforest in its present
state and/or controlled development of the region is socially and economically
sustainable
-collaborate with other teams at least once every two weeks to help
maintain strategies that are economically and socially feasible
- each team member will act as a liasion to at least one other team;
we will review and revise all of the other teams' plans to verify social
and economic feasibility
