Environmental stewardship encompasses a wide range of activities undertaken by groups, individuals and organizations to support nature. The term can be used to describe strict environmental conservation or active restoration efforts. It is practiced locally and globally in rural and urban Our site regions. There are many studies on this subject. However most of them focus on a single subset of the various factors that can support and undermine environmental management. These include ethics, motivations and capacity and networks, institutions and context. 2013; Silbernagel et al. 2015).
The first aspect of environmental management is direct stewardship, like planting trees, eliminating unwanted species, protecting waterways, or restricting recreational activities in wilderness areas. These actions may also include making people aware of the importance of environmental issues, and encouraging civic participation such as writing letters to legislators, or registering voters who are supportive of thoughtful environmental policies.
In addition to achieving ecological objectives like restoring a damaged ecosystem, the activities of environmental stewardship may also produce social outcomes such as economic, health, cultural and governance benefits. For instance, when buying foods from a local farmers’ market or through a community-supported agriculture programme consumers are taking part in environmental stewardship by supporting the production of sustainable foods and reducing the demand for semi-trucks that transport goods across the country (Breslow et al. 2016). In some cases the results of stewardship can have negative effects. For instance in indigenous communities that rely on the harvesting of large mammals for their livelihoods and cultural identity, a no-take conservation approach could be in contradiction to their holistic social-ecological worldview (Clarke 1999).
