"Can One Person Save an Endangered Species? See for Yourself." by @LearnLiberty► Get Learn Liberty updates in your inbox!http://LearnLiberty.org/subscribeThink you're too small to save the world—even one species at a time? Sometimes big change starts with thinking big and perhaps a little outside the box. Take it from enviropreneur Hank Fischer.Hank Fischer was concerned about the gray wolf. It was on the endangered species list and extinct in the American West. Efforts to reintroduce it in the region had been unsuccessful, largely because the local population didn't want hungry wolves killing their livestock. Rather than fight the ranchers in the region, Hank established a fund to compensate them for losses and give them incentives to support the growth of the wolf population. And it worked! Today, the gray wolf isn't even considered endangered. Hank's story is just one of many stories of enviropreneurs around the world. Laura Huggins of the Property and Environment Research Center (PERC) explains how thinking outside the box and innovating can work for the environment as it does for business. Enviropreneurs like Hank have been able to save species. Think about the difference you could make!Illustrations by: Corrie Francis Parks► Learn Morehttp://perc.org/articles/who-pays-wolves [article]: Hank Fischer on saving the wolves in Yellowstone Parkhttp://www.academia.edu/1512815/Environmental_Entrepreneurship [article]: Michael Lenox and Jeffrey York break down the economic incentives and personal motivations for environmental entrepreneurshiphttp://www.amazon.com/Wolf-Wars-Hank-Fischer/dp/1560443529 [resource]: Hank Fischer's book Wolf Warshttp://perc.org/articles/environmental-entrepreneurship-0 [resource]: Laura Huggins' book Environmental Entrepreneurshiphttp://perc.org/articles/preserving-patagonian-grasslands-and-gauchos [article]: Preserving Patagonian Grasslands: Argentinahttp://perc.org/articles/bees-and-barbed-wire-water [article]: Creating Water Markets: Bolivia► For more resources, transcripts, videos, and more visit:http://www.learnliberty.org/videos/can-one-person-save-endangered-species-see-yourself► Like us on Facebook! http://facebook.com/LearnLiberty► Follow us on Twitter! http://twitter.com/LearnLiberty► Follow us again on Google+! http://bit.ly/1c9tP9t► Watch more videos: http://LearnLiberty.org
