Book Review

Author: Mehjabeen Abidi-Habib
Publisher:

In these cynical times, positive stories in Pakistan’s development sector are few and far between.

Green Pioneers is a collection of articles on Pakistan’s Non Governmental Organisations successes in the field of environment protection, low cost housing
and rural development.

These brave people face everything from corrupt government officals to threats from poachers for daring to challenge the status quo.

All of this comes together to make this book worth a read for anyone interested in Pakistan, and whom would like to hear of those people who give us hope that things can get better.

Green Pioneers is available from UNDP Pakistan Office: 61-A, Jinnah Avenue,
9th, 10th & 13th Floors, Saudi Pak Tower, Islamabad
P.O. Box 1051, Islamabad.
Tel: (051)280.0133-42 Fax:
(051)-280.0031,280.0034).

The book can also be downloaded at: http://undp.un.org.pk/undp/sgp/green-pioneers/gp-contents.htm
