Natural resource management refers to the systematic planning, utilization, conservation, and restoration of natural resources such as land, water, forests, minerals, wildlife, and biodiversity to meet present human needs while ensuring their availability for future generations. It is an interdisciplinary field that integrates environmental science, ecology, economics, sociology, and policy studies to manage resources in a sustainable and equitable manner. Effective natural resource management aims to balance economic development with environmental protection, social equity, and ecological stability, recognizing that natural resources are finite and vulnerable to overexploitation, degradation, and climate change. One of the most widely adopted approaches to natural resource management is the sustainable management approach. This approach emphasizes the use of resources at a rate that does not exceed their natural regeneration capacity. It focuses on maintaining ecosystem health, conserving biodiversity, and minimizing environmental degradation while allowing economic activities such as agriculture, forestry, and fisheries to continue. Sustainable management promotes practices like soil conservation, water harvesting, renewable energy use, and sustainable forestry to ensure long-term productivity and ecological balance. Another important approach is the ecosystem-based management approach. This approach considers entire ecosystems rather than managing individual
