Overview

Natural resources are the materials, organisms, and energy sources found in the environment that sustain ecosystems and support human development, including air, water, soil, minerals, forests, wildlife, and renewable and non-renewable energy. They are classified by renewability and by their ecological and economic functions, and their study spans extraction, utilization, conservation, and the governance frameworks that balance use against long-term sustainability. Sound management integrates ecological understanding with social and institutional dimensions to prevent depletion, degradation, and biodiversity loss. The peer-reviewed research collected here reflects these themes through studies of permaculture practices and high-quality agricultural development, municipal decision-making strategies against waterborne disease, and the conservation status of large mammals and wildlife under anthropogenic threat in managed forests and protected areas. Further contributions examine women's socio-cultural roles in environmental conservation, ethnomycological knowledge of fungal resources, the agronomy of underutilized crops, and the climate change-land degradation-food security nexus. Work on energy efficiency in buildings situates resource conservation within the energy domain. Methodologically, the literature draws on field surveys, agronomic and ecological assessment, ethnographic and qualitative inquiry, and review synthesis, illustrating how natural-resource science connects biodiversity conservation, sustainable agriculture, water and energy management, and the human institutions that mediate access to and stewardship of the natural environment.
