Environmental education
usually takes an academic view of conservation based
on the workings of ecosystems. In contrast, conservation
management is issue- based and focused on practical
means of meeting and reporting on actions that schedule
inputs of resources on the ground to meet measurable
operational targets.
This section presents
examples of education/training frameworks and practical
work as resources for environmental education based
on the logic and process of producing and operating
conservation management plans.
Basically, there are
four educational routes to environmental management:-
from issues;
from social history;
from landscape;
from ecological principles;
from the history of ecological
ideas.
All of these topics have
to be incorporated into the conservation management
plan for a particular site.
This section includes
examples of different routes to conservation management
and a topic framework (Cultural Ecology) that integrates
all the 'ologies' concerned with education for sustainability. |
