environmental policy making requires the analyses of various interweaving aspects which at times is almost impossible when utilizing a single tool under any given circumstance. The primary reason for sustainability planning in Forest Management, Wildlife Conservation and Rangeland Management lies in ensuring natural resources serve the present as well as future population. However, it is impossible to convince the population that is being driven by economic needs to abide by sustainable policies without concrete
have raised global concern for the adoption of sustainable strategies that will ensure the existence of marine and coastal areas in its natural state with less impact caused by externalities. The natural structure and function of coastal marine ecosystems are faced with a lot of environmental and ecological challenges. The key issues of coastal marine systems sustainability are discussed below. Coastal Marine Environmental Degradation The degree of pollutions is of a greater concern when considering
forms of life, from microorganisms to humans to ecosystems alike. Water is a key factor in driving economic and social development within countries, impacting agriculture, energy, sanitation and health, gender equality etc (World Bank, 2014). For these reasons humans have invested an abundant amount of time, labor, and money into perfecting water infrastructures in an effort to provide water services for populations worldwide. Water resource management (WRM) goal is to manage and allocate water resources
relationships in ecosystems and the devastating effects of human interference. As a result we have become increasingly aware of the need to protect and manage the ecosystems that we do have remaining for their utility, genetic, intrinsic and heritage values and also for the need to allow natural change and thus evolution to take place. Natural ecosystems have provided much that has been of benefit to humanity and with careful protection it can last for many more generations. Management strategies involving
local culture is argued as confusing framework for water governance (Tortajada, 2010). It is different in any regions, because of natural challenges, systems of knowledge and variety of needs. In doing so, it may increase the complexity of water management practices, and should be attached to a specific culture (Jackson, 2006, Pahl-Wostl et al., 2008). Arguably, it is not sufficiently valid and reliable to be used to guide water planning and policy. However, water culture provide reflective information

The definitions, current methods, benefits, limitations, and challenges will be discussed. The literature review will discuss the unresolved issues or current challenges. This literature review will…discuss scope and limitations. Ecosystem services Ecosystem services are defined as the benefits natural ecosystems supply to human well-being (Elliff and Kikuchi, 2015).

But with the increasing number of people, inhabitants of this land, descended natural ecosystems and the change in the balance of natural cycles have a negative impact on both humans and other living systems. There is scientific evidence that many human lives in an unsustainable manner, and that the re- human use of natural resources to within

It sheds light on the role and importance of valuing natural capital; reasons why it has not been properly integrated into everyday decision-making process; the risks associated with negligence; and the benefits of integration. A few examples were enlisted to help outline the opportunities that lie within the ecosystem, if only we can implement practices to utilize it sustainably. Individuals, corporations, and governments, must understand and account for their

Sometimes however, a particular policy can have its shortfalls, potentially resulting in its negative aspects outweighing the positive ones. According to the Conference Board of Canada Report, “Canadians dispose of more municipal solid waste per capita than any other country” (2013). Solid waste management in particular, involves many aspects, ranging from packaging waste, food
interviewees had made during our study. For example, in terms of science and management practices, people want to be more involved in these programs and projects carried out on their islands and wish for more collaboration with Parks Canada as mentioned before. Similarly, locals want to know more information about these projects and want details on what is occurring on Haida Gwaii. When asked about their thoughts on the management practices used to control the deer population, people had some interesting
