Developing Resource Management and Conservation.

- Abstract
The article discusses how to manage natural resources and conserve them. One way to address this critical question is to look for examples across the rich diversity and experiences of human knowledge, thought, and practice around the world. A complementary approach would be to look back through history to search for models of humans successfully conserving their resources and managing them in ways that did not deplete them. One prevailing idea is that humans can only learn to conserve if they have experienced some type of catastrophic resource depletion. Only then can they recognize that resources are vulnerable to human impacts.
