TABLE Principles That Should Be Incorporated into Public Policies to Protect Natural Resources
1. Natural resources cannot be treated as open-access commons. Habitats and species should be held by private, communal, or state entities that are responsible for their exploitation and sustainability. |
2. Scientific research should be employed to assess the health of the resource and to set sustainable limits on its use. |
3. To accommodate uncertainty, the precautionary principle should be used in setting limits for exploitation. |
4. Regulations should be enforced; the resource must be protected from poaching. |
5. Economic incentives that encourage the violation of regulations should be eliminated. |
6. Subsidies that encourage exploitation of the resource should be removed. |
7. All stakeholders should be involved in resource-related decisions; those living close to the resource should share in profits from its use. |
8. Security of tenure is crucial for poor people who depend on the resource for their well-being. |
