project of sustainable management
of natural resources.
Answers
Explanation:
Sustainable management of natural resources is necessary to increase the over all life of natural resources specially non-renewable resources and also to control the environmental pollution. Both reuse and recycle are the good choices.
Answer:
Ecuador is the country with the greatest biodiversity for its surface area. About 18 % of its land area is given over to conservation areas. In contrast to this, the rate of destruction of the forests stands at around 200,000 hectares a year – equivalent to 1.8 % of the country’s land mass. The reasons for this are a high dependence on raw materials, a weak national regulatory framework and the economic situation of the poor. In order to secure a livelihood for themselves in the short term, small farmers mainly use chemical fertilisers and pesticides on their fields. There is a lack of alternative, economically viable and ecologically appropriate production, processing and marketing systems that not only help to conserve biodiversity, but also contribute to improving the living conditions of the population.
In addition, in many cases civil society and provincial or municipal administrations are not sufficiently involved in the decision-making and participation mechanisms put in place to ensure the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources. Although there are numerous protected areas, natural resources are not protected in a sustainable way, which is resulting in the increasing loss of biodiversity.
Objective
The poor rural population supported by the project applies sustainable natural resource management strategies and methods and increases their income.
Approach
The ‘Sustainable management of natural resources project (GESOREN)’ is part of the German development cooperation programme to protect the environment and conserve natural resources. It has four components:
Developing institutions and strategies for the conservation of natural resources
Support is given to various partners to develop instruments for planning, evaluating and monitoring protected areas. The project provides expertise and experience with dialogue and coordination processes on environmental topics. In addition, legal and technical recommendations are drawn up for designating and establishing protected areas.
Valorisation of natural resources and
