Eating Sustainably: Forests and Oceans Aren't Menus - Chris Golden

Each year, National Geographic names a new class of Emerging Explorers, who are tomorrow's visionaries inspiring everybody to care about the planet. Ecologist and epidemiologist Christopher Golden is part of the 2014 class for his work in Madagascar helping local people develop better food cultivation habits than simply turning to the forest for wild meat. Golden says that it's possible to understand this on a global scale: one example he cited is to encourage people to more sustainably harvest fish from the oceans, so we don't experience a global collapse of biodiversity.
