● Lack of community support or conflict with protected area managers can arise under these scenarios

○ Communities lack awareness about biodiversity conservation ○ They are neglected in the decision-making ○ The establishment of protected areas is perceived to result in inequitable distribution of benefits ○ They disadvantage the community by limiting their resource utilization or source of livelihood Other approaches to natural resource management ● Natural Resource Management ○ Broadly refers to the sustainable utilization of major natural resources, such as land, water, air, minerals, forests, fisheries, and wild flora and fauna ■ Collectively, these resources provide ecosystem services essential for humans ● The establishment of protected areas remains the major approach for biodiversity conservation ○ However, this approach often restricts human use and access to designated areas
