Vermont Professor Builds Atlas, Backs Peace Parks
 
Saleem Ali, 37, one of National Geographic Society's most recently named "Emerging Explorers," is thinking outside the box when it comes to how the global community handles political conflict and environmental issues. Ali's idea for what he calls an Atlas of Ecological Cooperation — an idea he hopes will create peace between countries sparring politically while espousing a greater level of commitment to protecting the planet — garnered a $10,000 prize and a spot in National Geographic magazine in June.

Ali intends to spend the award money, which came without stipulations, for research related to developing his atlas idea.
