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、可持續生計和整合流域管理之間的關係,尤其是在印度東北地區的山區地區。本書還闡明了該地區問題的現狀,確定現有實踐中存在的差距,並提出未來的政策,以實現有效的保護和可持續發展。

印度東北地區的環境退化主要歸因於在缺乏適當的投資和適當的管理實踐的情況下,對脆弱生態系統施加的生物壓力的增加,以增強和保護自然資源。人口增長和貧困一方面,以及財富和消費主義需求上升的壓力另一方面,對生態系統施加了強大的壓力。自然資源規劃和管理以及通過整合流域管理實現可持續生計不僅是一個技術挑戰,也是一個社會挑戰。本書對於在喜馬拉雅地區從事自然資源管理、可持續發展和流域管理的政策制定者、研究人員、從業人員和利益相關者來說是一個寶貴的資源。
