The ever-increasing human population and high demand for natural resources have resulted in declining species and ecosystems that justify the exploration of opportunities for sustainable management options. This is particularly validated in areas of the planet that are prone to extreme climatic conditions where unsustainable utilization and management is common practice. Written by young and energetic scientists, this book offers a multidisciplinary perspective that integrates environmental, sanitation and social sciences. It demonstrates the crucial importance of shaping outcomes and development.

It demonstrates that the struggle to achieve sustainable natural resources management and its subsequent utilization can be done; it is possible through the combined efforts and commitment of individuals, communities and institutions with complimentary roles. In our view, this book provides a significant contribution towards systematically evaluating and improving measures of policy and management intended to regulate the exploitation of natural resources. The ideas presented in this book provide resource managers and researchers (whether government, community or the private individual) with a systematic means of resource utilization and management.
