Sustainable Resource Management

Sustainable Resource Management focuses on the principles and practices essential for maintaining the balance between meeting human needs and preserving the integrity and productivity of the Earth’s resources. In this course, students will delve into the science and policy frameworks that govern the sustainable use of natural resources such as forests, fisheries, water, and minerals. By examining both traditional and contemporary management approaches, learners will understand how strategic planning, conservation measures, and adaptive strategies can prevent resource depletion and environmental degradation.
Students will explore real-world examples and case studies to understand the complexity of managing resources sustainably. They will learn to assess resource availability, monitor use patterns, and implement practices that ensure long-term viability while supporting economic development and social well-being. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to make informed decisions, recommend policies, and develop management plans that balance ecological considerations with the demands of a growing global population.
