商品描述
This book explores the relationships between natural resources management, sustainable livelihoods, and integrated watershed management in the context of the mountainous region, especially in the northeastern region of India. The book also sheds light on the current state of regional issues, identifies gaps in the existing practices and proposes future policies for effective conservation and sustainable development.
The environmental degradation in the northeastern region of India is basically attributed to the increasing biotic pressure on the fragile ecosystems in the absence of suitable investments and proper management practices to enhance and conserve the natural resources. Population growth and poverty on the one hand and the pressure of rising demand from wealth and consumerism on the other hand, have been exerting powerful pressure on the ecosystems. Natural resources planning and management and sustainable livelihoods through integrated watershed management is not just a technical challenge; it is also a social challenge. The book is a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, practitioners and stakeholders involved in natural resource management, sustainable development and watershed management in the Himalayan region.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討了自然資源管理、可持續生計與綜合流域管理之間的關係，特別是在印度東北部的山區背景下。本書還闡明了當前地區問題的狀況，識別了現有實踐中的缺口，並提出了未來有效保護和可持續發展的政策建議。
印度東北部的環境退化主要歸因於在缺乏適當投資和管理實踐以增強和保護自然資源的情況下，對脆弱生態系統的生物壓力不斷增加。人口增長和貧困一方面，以及來自財富和消費主義的需求上升壓力另一方面，對生態系統施加了強大的壓力。自然資源規劃與管理以及通過綜合流域管理實現可持續生計不僅是技術挑戰，也是社會挑戰。本書是政策制定者、研究人員、實踐者和參與喜馬拉雅地區自然資源管理、可持續發展和流域管理的利益相關者的重要資源。
