Benefits of community-led Natural Resource Governance.



Community stewardship of Natural Resources not only supports the environment but also strengthens community bonds. More so, it enables local voices to pave the way for sustainable practices. Learn about the role of community involvement in sustaining our natural world!





The Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Network - BES-Net aims to build capacity and commitment for biodiversity action across the world.


The Research paper discusses Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) as an approach to natural resource management and conservation. The paper first shows in the preamble that most problems in nature conservation originate from human exploitation of natural resources in the quest to overcome poverty and earn a living. In order to realize the limitations associated with bottom-up approaches to natural resource management, the authors explored deeper into CBNRM as an alternative to the traditional approaches using the desktop research. In particular, the paper explains crystal clearly the idea of CBNRM as an approach to natural resource management while highlighting the benefits and limitations of the approach. Based on the discussion, the paper concludes that despite its limitations, CBNRM remains an effective approach for natural resource management as it is experimental, inclusive and participatory by nature.

THE BLUE WHALE FALLS TO EXTINCTION.

The blue whale is listed as endangered throughout its range under the ESA and is thus considered depleted throughout its range under the MMPA. Internationally, blue whales received complete legal protection from commercial whaling in 1966 under the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling. To address this, the Red List Index (RLI) has been developed, which shows trends in the status of groups of species based only on genuine improvements or deteriorations in status of sufficient magnitude to qualify species for listing in more threatened or less threatened Red List Categories. Species Categorized as Extinct (EX)

  EVENT : From Agreement to Action: the Central Role of Water to Build Back Biodiversity - IDB 2023 In celebration of the International Day for Biological Diversity 2023 , on May 22nd ; this event will illustrate the critical interlinkages between freshwater and biodiversity and showcase the outcomes of the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) and UN 2023 Water Conference . The Water Action Agenda commitments on biodiversity made by different stakeholders at the United Nations 2023 Water Conference will be discussed at the event. All aspects of human wellbeing depend on water. In turn the planet’s water cycle is dependent on and mediated by biodiversity and water-related ecosystems. Freshwater ecosystems cover less than 1% of the Earth's surface but harbour more than 10% of all species. The importance of biodiversity and waterrelated ecosystems is reflected in the Sustainable Development Goal 6 and in particular Target 6.6. However, biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems is in dang...
