SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT FOR NATURAL RENEWABLE RESOURCES

Abstract

This paper explores the present scenario of our important natural renewable resources (like water, land and forest) and priorities and action for its sustainable management. Different innovative strategies (like value education, population control, women education, community participation, innovative teaching practices etc.) have been discussed and focused their role for sustainable management of natural renewable resources. Sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generation to meet their own needs”. Natural renewable resources are those capable of natural regeneration in to useful products within a time span relevant to man. These resources are potentially renewable and could be indefinitely available, provided their capacity to regenerate is not damaged by natural catastrophe or human activities. Education is a powerful tool to abolish ignorance from our society. Through education an individual realizes the truth of his/her surroundings and its importance for existence of life on this beautiful blue planet. With the help of hands on experiences, all stake holders in a society will be sensitive to manage their needs rationally. Ultimately they will be sensitive towards their responsibility for sustainable management of natural renewable resources.
