Natural Resource Management
Natural resource management involves many disciplines simultaneously, not only the forestry, wildlife, fishery, land, water, agriculture, and livestock sectors, but also the governance and legal sectors, because of its interdisciplinary nature. Natural resource management is about protection as well as sustainable use and management of the resources. In most countries, the legislation as well as the implementation of the laws, rules and regulations is problematic due to the scattered responsibilities amongst the Ministries, Departments and Agencies. The loopholes in the legislation allow for the irresponsible exploitation on the one hand and the unequal distribution of the benefits on the other hand.
Participative land use planning is at the core of the management approach involving all disciplines. Ownership and legal recognition of the right to access and use of the land by the population is the basis for responsible and sustainable management. Community Based Natural Resource Management is a strategy to engage local communities in taking their responsibilities as well as in claiming the benefits of their natural resources.
