Prospects for Sustainability in Human–Environment Patterns: Dynamic Management of Common Resources

Abstract

Models envisaged by policy makers and sustainability scientists cooperatively produce tools with desired practical implications. Models presented in the volume are summarized, with existing policy methods for resource management and Global perspective for resource planning methods in context. Models are discussed firstly in the framework of learning environments as an opportunity to test and practice sustainability, combining different tools from models, case studies, and scenarios. Sustainability asks for a multi-scale pragmatics; key elements of the multiple scale approach representing common ground in existing practice and frontier research have been identified. Two case studies are presented as a meta-summary of the issues presented in the book, being Rural South Asia (with special reference to India), and analysis of mega-diverse countries in Latin America, with special focus on Ecuador.

India’s case study offers an account of policies implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) and the Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MTA) since 1947, creating sustainable models for biodiversity and natural resource management. To comprehend the methods of resource sustainability usage in the present era, while enhancing resource utilization capacity of traditional practices, a tribal (indigenous communities) village—‘Ajanta’ (Western India)—is elaborated upon. The Latin America case study focuses on declinations of the buen vivir (good living) concept and the debate between putting nature to the service of a nation (extractivism) and Yasunization, the neologism coined in Ecuador by a civil society seeking territorial innovation combining community engagement, biodiversity conservation, and environmental justice.

Through the macro-cosmic to micro-cosmic approach, a ‘north-south’, ‘developed versus developing regions’ dichotomy and possible areas of accord for resource management and sustainability in the global perspective is presented.
