Applying Strategic Planning Approaches for Good Natural Resource Governance
The landscape-level approach is increasingly being recognised and used to ensure effective integrated natural resource planning that links grass-roots and community based initiatives with wider national or regional perspectives. The approach encompasses a diversity of innovative practices involving sustainable natural resource management and attempts to merge ecosystem thinking with multi-stakeholder processes and good natural resources governance.
