 WHAT IS ECOSYSTEM
MANAGEMENT?
Nature of the Learning Process
- It is a process that aims to conserve major ecological
services and restore natural resources while meeting the
socioeconomic, political and cultural and needs of current
and future generations. The principal objective of
ecosystem management is the efficient maintenance and
ethical use of natural resources. It is a multifaceted and
holistic approach which requires a significant change in
how natural and human environments are identified.
PRINCPLE IN ECOSYSTEM
MANAGEMENT:
1.) Ecosystem management reflects a stage in the continuing evolution of social
values and priorities, it is neither a beginning nor an end.

2.) Ecosystem management is place-based and the boundaries of the place must
be clearly and formally defined.

3.) Ecosystem management should maintain ecosystems in the appropriate

condition to achieve desired social benefits.

4.) Ecosystem management should take advantage of the ability of ecosystems to

respond to a variety of stressors, natural and manmade, but all ecosystems have
limited ability to accommodate stressors and maintain a desired state.
5.) Ecosystem management may or may not result in emphasis on
biological diversity.

6.) The term sustainability, if used at all in ecosystem management, should

be clearly defined – specifically, the time frame of concern, the benefits
and costs of concern, and the relative priority of the benefits and costs.

7.) Scientific information is important for effective ecosystem management,

but is only one element in a decision-making process that is fundamentally
one of public.
 WHO ARE INVOLVE IN
ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT?
Every one is affected by
environmental decisions and
actions, but we have also the power
to influence the outcome of
environmental decisions relating to
our ecosystem and planet. The
complex nature of decisions made in
ecosystem management, from local
to international scales, require
stakeholder participation from a
diversity of knowledge, perceptions
and values of nature.
