The Rebirth of Environmentalism tells for the first time the story of these grassroots biodiversity groups. Filled with inspiring stories of activists, groups, and campaigns that most readers will not have encountered before, The Rebirth of Environmentalism explores how grassroots biodiversity groups have had such a big impact despite their scant resources, and presents valuable lessons that can help the environmental movement as a whole--as well as other social movements--become more effective. 606 $aEnvironmentalism$zUnited States 606 $aBiodiversity$zUnited States 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zUnited States 615 0$aEnvironmentalism 615 0$aBiodiversity 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 676 $a333.95/160973 700 $aBevington$b Douglas$f1970-$01808548 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970447503321 996 $aThe rebirth of environmentalism$94358849 997 $aUNINA
