NATURAL RESOURCES PROVIDE OUR BASIC NEEDS; THE AIR WE

BREATHE, THE WATER WE DRINK AND THE FOOD WE EAT. THEY
GIVE US ENERGY, PROSPERITY AND SECURITY, THEY PROTECT US
AND MAKE US HEALTHIER AND OUR LIVES BETTER.THESE NATURAL
RESOURCES PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR DAY -TO-DAY LIFE. LET

SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT:

Sustainable management takes

the concepts from sustainability and synthesizes them
with the concepts of management. SUSTAINABILITY HAS
THREE BRANCHES : THE ENVIRONMENT , THE NEEDS OF PRESENT AND
FUTURE GENERATIONS , AND THE ECONOMY. Using these
branches, it creates the ability of a system to thrive by
maintaining economic viability and nourishing the needs
of the present and future generations by limiting
resource depletion.

FROM THIS DEFINITION, SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN

CREATED TO BE DEFINED AS THE APPLICATION OF SUSTAINABLE
PRACTICES IN THE CATEGORIES OF BUSINESSES , AGRICULTURE ,
SOCIETY , ENVIRONMENT , AND PERSONAL LIFE BY MANAGING THEM IN A
WAY THAT WILL BENEFIT CURRENT GENERATIONS AND FUTURE
GENERATIONS .

Sustainable management is needed because it is an

important part of the ability to successfully maintain the
quality of life on our planet. Sustainable management
can be applied to all aspects of our lives. For example,
the practices of a business should be sustainable if they
wish to stay in business, because if the business is
unsustainable, then by the definition of sustainability it
will cease to be able to be in competition. Communities
need sustainable management, because if the
community is to prosper, then the management must be
sustainable. Forest and natural resources need to have
sustainable management if they are to be able to be
continually used by our generation and future
generations. Our personal lives also need to be managed
sustainably. This can be by making decisions that will
help sustain our immediate surroundings and
environment, or it can be by managing our emotional and
physical well-being. Sustainable management can be
applied to many things, as it can be applied as a literal
and an abstract concept. Meaning, depending on what
they are applied to the meaning of what it is can change.

WHAT IS THE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES?

Sustainable management of natural resources is defined in the

Environment act as:

“Using natural resources in a way and at a rate that maintains

and enhances the resilience of the ecosystem and the benefits
they provide. In doing so, meeting the needs of present
generations of people without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their needs, and contributing to the
achievement of the well-being goals in the Well-being of Future
Generations Act.”

FORESTS:
There are very practical needs for sustainable
management of forests. Since forests provide many as
per as resources to the people, and to the world,
management of the forests is critical to keep those
resources available.
To be able to manage a forest,
knowledge of how the natural
systems work is needed. If a
manager knows how the
natural system works, then
when the manager of the forest

makes plans how the resources are to be removed from

the forest, the manager will know how the resources can
be removed without damaging the forest. Since many
forests are under management of the government that is
in the region, the forest is not truly functioning how the
ecosystem was naturally developed, and how it is meant
to be. An example is the pine flatwoods in Florida. To be
able to maintain that ecosystem frequent burnings of the
forest needs to happen. Fires are a natural part of the
ecosystem, but since wildfires can spread to
communities near the forest, control of the wildfires is
requested from the communities. To maintain flatwoods
forest control burning or prescribe burning is part of the
management to sustain the forest.

FARMING / AGRICULTURE:
To have sustainable agriculture, sustainable
management of the farmer’ needs to be implemented.
 Management provides the
tools, and knowledge of the progress, goals, and
organization that sustainable agriculture needs to be
sustainable. Keeping track of what the system is
providing, and consuming is important so that the
management can improve the sustainable efforts in the
system. Sustainable management of agriculture means
that the system that is being managed is sustainable in
all respects. Production should be modelled after natural
systems, instead of using human-made systems that
have been pushed onto the Earth that are not
sustainable.
 In a natural system, the Earth
uses the waste of one system and then turns it into the
consuming part of another system. This is important to
try to model sustainable management of agriculture
because it would decrease the number of resources
needed, and decrease the amount of money spent on
removing and deposing waste. Not only does an
agriculture system need to protect the resources and
environment, but it also needs to be able to compete in
the market. Agriculture can model natural systems to
provide a system that is competitive in the indefinite
long run, instead of stripping the land of its resources
and making it unusable in the future. Agriculture that
tries to produce its product at the maximum yield will
strip soil resources until the land is void and unable to
produce. This would be an example of when sustainable
management is not put into practice, because the
system will fail, and because it fails, it would have a
negative impact on the people that rely on that product
for work, food, and the local economy. Sustainable
management of agriculture should include the
sustainable management of the people that work on the
systems. Fairtrade is an example of how the world is
trying to produce sustainable management of local
farmers in third-world countries. Slow food is another
movement that is trying to promote sustainable
management by marketing the production of farm
products to the people that live locally. Slow food
provides fresher, cheaper, superior, and tastier products
because they are sold directly to the public by the
farmer. The farmer saves money by not spending it on
shipping and transportation of their products.

Sustainable management of farms provides solutions to

problems that are not sustainable in the areas of the
people that buy the product, people that make the
product, and the environment.

DEPLETION OF RESOURCES:
Resource depletion is the consumption of a resource faster than it can be
replenished. Natural resources are commonly divided between renewable and non-
renewable resources (see mineral resource classification). Using either of these
forms of resources beyond their replacement rate is considered to be resource
depletion. The value of a resource is a direct result of its availability in nature and
the cost of extracting the resource, the more a resource is depleted the more the
value of resource increases.

There are several types of resource depletion, the most known being: Aquifer
depletion, deforestation, mining for fossil fuels and minerals, pollution or
contamination of resources, slash-and-burn agricultural practices, soil erosion, and
overconsumption, excessive or unnecessary use of resources.

Resource depletion is most commonly used in reference to

farming, fishing, mining,fuels. Depletion of wildlife populations is called
defaunation.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT:
Sustainable development is an organizing principle for meeting
human development goals while also sustaining the ability of
natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem
services on which the economy and society depend. The desired
result is a state of society where living conditions and resources
are used to continue to meet human needs without undermining
the integrity and stability of the natural system. Sustainable
development was defined in the 1987 Brundtland Report as
"Development that meets the needs of the present generation
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs". As the concept of sustainable development
developed, it has shifted its focus more towards economic
development, social development and environmental protection
for future generations.

Sustainable development was first institutionalized with the Rio

Process initiated at the 1992 Earth summit in Rio de Janeiro. In
2015 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the
Sustainable development Goals (SDGs) (2015 to 2030) and
explained how the goals are integrated and indivisible to achieve
sustainable development at the global level. The 17 goals
address global challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate
change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice.

Sustainable development is interlinked with the normative

concept of sustainability. UNESCO formulated a distinction
between the two concepts as follows: "Sustainability is often
thought of as a long-term goal (i.e., a more sustainable world),
while sustainable development refers to the many processes and
pathways to achieve it." The concept of sustainable development
has been criticized in various ways. While some see it as
paradoxical (or an oxymoron) and regard development as
inherently unsustainable, others are disappointed in the lack of
progress that has been achieved so far. Part of the problem is
that "development" itself is not consistently defined.

CONCLUSION:
To sum it up, sustainable development is the key to ensuring a
safer future for the forthcoming generations. It will also help to
tackle environmental issues such as climate change, global
warming, loss of species, and shortage of natural resources. So,
we need to develop habits so that we can also contribute to this
