Working Group for the Steady State Economy Mission
The Mission of the Working Group for a Steady State Economy is to address the conflict between economic growth and wildlife conservation. We support a steady state economy as a sustainable alternative to perpetual economic growth.
Goals:
Educate members of The Wildlife Society, other natural resources professionals, students, public groups, and policy makers on the fundamental conflict between economic growth and wildlife conservation.
Promote a steady state economy with a mildly fluctuating population and per capita consumption as an alternative to economic growth.
Encourage discussions and research regarding the means conducive to the establishment of a steady state economy, including but not limited to educational tools, political strategies, and public policies.
