Governance of Natural Resources

Governance of Natural Resources provides a comprehensive overview of the critical role natural resources play in national development and sustainable growth. With growing populations and increasing pressure on resources such as fossil fuels, minerals, forests, and water, this book emphasizes the need for effective management and conservation strategies to ensure long-term sustainability.

Organized into seven units, the book begins with an introduction to the natural resource base and examines the legal, political, and institutional frameworks essential for resource governance. It explores topics such as biodiversity conservation, land use planning, Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP) policies, and the economic significance of natural resources. The book highlights the importance of empowering local communities, fostering sustainable industries, and aligning governance mechanisms with global sustainable development goals.

Ideal for students, policymakers, and environmentalists, this book equips readers with the knowledge to promote equitable, efficient, and sustainable resource management practices for future generations.
