Maintaining natural resources including biodiversity, minerals, and water in the face of increasing pressures and threats is a major challenge for traditional owners, other stakeholders, practitioners and scientists. This subject provides an introduction of how such resources are managed. Topics include the nature of natural resources and examinations of the organisations, approaches, methods and policies related to natural resource management. Emphasis is placed on the role of Indigenous Australian communities in past and present natural resource management. On completion, students have a broad understanding of natural resource management and the ability to apply their knowledge and skills to make sound judgements about ways to manage and protect natural resources.
