Ecosystem Approach: humans and ecosystems

Casi studio a confronto

“The ecosystem approach is a strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way. […] It recognizes that humans, with their cultural diversity, are an integral component of many ecosystems” 
(Fifth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, 2000).
Starting from case studies, the four seminars propose different forms of implementation of the Ecosystem Approach concept.
