Community-Based Natural Resource Management

Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) involves local communities actively participating in managing and using natural resources, such as forests, water, and wildlife. The goal is to empower these communities to sustainably manage their resources while also benefiting economically and socially. By involving local people, CBNRM promotes conservation efforts that align with their needs and knowledge, leading to better outcomes for both the environment and community livelihoods. It recognizes that local people are often the best stewards of their natural resources, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility for their sustainable use.
