What We Learned in the Rainforest presents a surprising new business principle: by applying strategies and practices gleaned from nature-by emulating what it once sought to conquer-business can adapt rapidly to changing market conditions and attain greater and more sustainable profits. With clear, direct language and dozens of real-world examples, Kiuchi and Shireman show how a company can become a complex living system that doesn't merely balance competing interests but truly integrates them. Examples from leading companies include: How Coca-Cola CEO Doug Daft uses diversity to drive sales How Intel founder Gordon Moore creates profit by design How Bill Coors builds businesses on the theory that "all waste is lost profit" How Shell profits as an industrial ecosystem What Weyerhaeuser and activists learned from each other How Dow earns 300% returns, and Dupont builds market share with eco-effectiveness, and more This book shows that the old model of business-the machine model that pitted business against nature-is growing obsolete. In the emerging economy, businesses excel when they emulate what they once sought to conquer. They maximize performance as they become like nature, like a complex living system. By moving beyond the industrial machine model, and applying the dynamic principles of the rainforest instead, business can learn how to create more profit than ever, and to do so more sustainably. Written by two would-be "arch enemies"-a hard-nosed CEO of a major corporation and a dedicated environmentalist-this book doesn't just balance competing interests, it integrates them into a truly revolutionary new paradigm. Kiuchi and Shireman present numerous real-world examples from leading companies-business strategies and management practices that maximize business performance by all measures: economic, social, and environmental. They illustrate the powerful business model provided by nature for driving innovation, increasing profit, spurring growth, and ensuring sustainability.

The rainforest is the most successful ecosystem on the planet: with more species of fish in one pond than all of the British Isle and over 2000 different species of plants per acre; the origin of half of the world's species and a quarter of all naturally occurring drugs. It also recycles a quarter of the world's oxygen. This book unveils this model for business, the economy and society. 1."These are the tallest trees of about 50m (166ft) in height....They are the Fortune 500 Companies" 2."If you are a business you have your equivalent in the bush" 3." More importantly they are the reason why there are no "bubbles" and "crashes" in the rainforest but a stable lush forest in perpetuity." 4."We do not allow the full effect of recessions to cleanse the market, so our markets are not optimal but full of dross, riding from crash to the next crash" 5." An economic depression is a bad inflammatory process, necessary for healing, but so exaggerated in scale and severity that the patient is threatened to die from it rather than the disease." 6."After a forest fire the vultures come! Even the animals could not run, they were burnt like grass. It is that thorough a purging." 7." The Coco-yam has only two or three leaves, each like a telescopic dish capturing as much of the remaining 20 percent the sunlight that reaches this this level as possible ( well ahead of star-gazing telescopes at observatories. This is the niche market." The book is in three parts. The first part discusses the structure of the rainforest and integrates it with that of the market. In the market there are the skyscrapers, buildings of intermediate height, and low buildings. The rainforest has a layer of very tall trees called the emergents, an intermediate layer of trees called the canopy and a layer of small trees and shrubs called the understory, so the lessons begin .The lessons are delivered under a distinct subheading and italicized to distinguish from the rest of the text. They run right through the book which is written in exciting language, delving into every concept and issue of business and society. This is the second part of the book. The third part of the book discusses a totalistic way of life that is based on continuous rational decision-making over every aspect of life up to the littlest tit bits to guarantee, more than every other method, optimal success as it makes the most of every opportunity leaving no stones unturned. Here the author, being a medical doctor, expounds "self-propulsion." This quote "The pathway for processing commands/orders is stronger, more executive, and less susceptible to our desire for convenience. The pathway for processing personal wishes is weaker and more susceptible to our desire for convenience. By channeling our more challenging day to day intentions through the command pathway our performance is enhanced by adrenaline and other substances so that we don't fail at the task. This happens before an exam and before a race to improve your performance. It is better than taking coffee; it is fast and permeates all the right places." And this "I abhor the use of foreign substances and do not even take coffee, so this passage must not be misconstrued as encouraging the use of performance enhancing drugs. Your body has stocks of them, tell it to release some more because it is now a more intense world than the days of relative ease and much space on farms." New revelatory perspectives are a consistent thread in the author's writings.

Deforestation is occurring at an alarming rate in many parts of the world, causing destruction of natural habitat and fragmentation of what remains. Nowhere is this problem more pressing than in the Amazon rainforest, which is rapidly vanishing in the face of enormous pressure from humans to exploit it. This book presents the results of the longest-running and most comprehensive study of forest fragmentation ever undertaken, the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP) in central Amazonia, the only experimental study of tropical forest fragmentation in which baseline data are available before isolation from continuous forest took place.A joint project of Brazil’s National Institute for Research in Amazonia and the U.S. Smithsonian Institution, the BDFFP has investigated the many effects that habitat fragmentation has on plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. The book provides an overview of the BDFFP, reports on its case studies, looks at forest ecology and tree genetics, and considers what issues are involved in establishing conservation and management guidelines.

'Eyes closed and hold tight!' said Mrs Parrot. The class carpet rose in the air and a moment later we were flying! Our school is definitely different. Take our teachers for starters. Mrs Parrot gets in a bit of a flap about rainforests, but her lessons really are magic! We learned about: - life in the trees - when we took a trip in a glass lift to the top of a rainforest! - sloths - when one spoke to us - very sloooooowly! - tarantulas - when a giant spider chased us through the forest!It's brilliant here. Come on in and see for yourself...!
