Ecosystem management has gained widespread visibility as an
approach to the management of land to achieve sustainable natural
resource use. Despite widespread interest in this emerging
management paradigm, Ecosystems: Balancing Science with Management
is the first book to directly propose approaches for implementing
ecosystem management, give examples of viable tools, and discuss
the potential implications of implementing an ecosystem approach.
These ideas are framed in a historical context that examines the
disjunction between ecological theory, environmental legislation
and natural resources management.
Sustainability defines the need for any society to live within the
constraints of the land's capacity to deliver all natural resources
the society consumes. This book compares the general differences
between Native Americans and western world view towards resources.
It will provide the 'nuts and bolts' of a sustainability portfolio
designed by indigenous peoples. This book introduces the ideas on
how to link nature and society to make sustainable choices. To be
sustainable, nature and its endowment needs to be linked to human
behavior similar to the practices of indigenous peoples. The main
goal of this book is to facilitate thinking about how to change
behavior and to integrate culture into thinking and
decision-processes.
