Protecting Nature by Making Conservation Management Plans
Introduction
- a logical management structure which links objectives with grass roots operations, particularly with regards monitoring the success in achieving practical targets;
- a recording procedure for maintaining year on year momentum, which also has an integral reporting system for keeping all members of the community up to date;
- access to standard methods and procedures which have proved successful in the past;
- the inadequacies of paper systems to centralise management, recording, and communication.
This quest is part of a project to encourage the use of the Zunal toolkit, and other course building tools, to raise the profile of environmentalism in the promotion of an international curriculum about living sustainability. In particular, it is aimed at bringing the topic of conservation management centre stage of a global culture where future generations are going to face catastrophic changes in the environment that will impact on human well being world wide.
The central concern of all educationalists should be to embed the idea that we are part of nature in everything we do. Environmentalism, came with the establishment of National Parks in many countries around the world. Rachel Carsen and her book Silent Spring are often credited with the first modern wake-up call regarding pollution and the environment. From there, environmentalism has slowly expanded to include all areas of business and industry, although politically, it remains rather weak and much less effective particularly with respect to climate change. The central idea is that we are just one species among many, with no special right to dominate the biosphere.
