use of a population or ecosystem within some parameters that permit their renewal, compatible with biodiversity conservation in the long term.
managing resources so that they produce continuously, unimpaired by periodic harvests
To sustain anything is to "keep it going" and thus sustainable use is a use which can be kept going. With wildlife, uses cannot be sustained unless the wildlife is conserved, so many people agree that sustainable use = conservation. The Northern Territory of Australia was one of the pioneers with sustainable use of crocodiles along with Zimbabwe, Papua New Guinea and the United States. Wildlife Management International has been involved in the research and management needed to realise it.
Management aimed at passing on a robust, healthy and abundant salmon resource for the enjoyment of future generations.
The use of genes, species, or ecosystems in a matter and at a rate that does not lead to their long-term decline.
the use of a resource in a way which allows that resource to renew itself so that it will continue to be available for the benefit of future generations.
A general term meaning that people can gain direct and indirect benefits from heritage resources over the long term, without destroying them.
conserved use of a resource so that it may be used by present and future generations.
The use of components of biological diversity in a way and at a rate that does not lead to the long-term decline of biological diversity, thereby maintaining its potential to meet the needs and aspirations of present and future generations.
use of resources in an efficient way without destroying the basis of their productivity, such that they may be used in the present and by future generations.
Sustainable use is the judicious use of natural resources without destroying them.
Sustainable use is the use of resources at a rate which will meet the needs of the present without impairing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The concept was notably put forth by the Brundtland Commission in 1987.
