Abstract

Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is a multifaceted concept that takes on varying meanings depending on geographical, socio-political, and ecological contexts. At its core, CBNRM entails the collective management of natural resources, such as land, forests, wildlife, and water sources, by local communities and institutions, with the aim of securing local benefits while preserving these resources for future generations. Sustainability, as defined by the Brundtland Commission, involves development that meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own requirementsEconomic sustainability, a key component of overall sustainability, focuses on the continuous production of goods and services while maintaining economic equilibrium across sectors. The concept of sustainability emerged from international conferences addressing the intricate linkages between environmental conservation and development.

These discussions culminated in the Brundtland Report, marking the inception of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the formalization of sustainable development principles. However, the path to this global recognition was paved through various international conferences, such as the United Nations Conference on Environmental and Development (UNCED) in Stockholm and Nairobi.

Historically, international donors initially favored centralized approaches to conservation and development in developing nations after World War II. Yet, with the rise of modernization and increased donor aid in the 1960s, it became evident that such strategies disproportionately benefited elites, tourism, and conservation efforts. These approaches often disregarded the socio-economic welfare of local communities. In light of these challenges, the concept of CBNRM gained traction as a more inclusive and sustainable approach to resource management.
