Environmental stewardship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Environmental Stewardship)
Environmental stewardship refers to responsible use and protection of the natural environment through conservation and sustainable practices. Aldo Leopold (1887–1948) championed environmental stewardship based on a land ethic "dealing with man's relation to land and to the animals and plants which grow upon it."[1]
Resilience-based ecosystem stewardship [edit]
Resilience-Based Ecosystem Stewardship emphasizes resilience as a basic feature of the changing world, ecosystems that provide a suite of ecosystem services rather than a single resource, and stewardship that recognizes resource managers as an integral part of the systems they manage.[2] Resilience refers to the ability of a system to absorb disturbance and still maintain its basic function and structure.[3]
