Masters in Integrated Resource Management

Why are natural resources frequently over-used?

How can we manage them better?

Who or what gets priority treatment?

Integrated Resource Management is a big picture approach to resource use. It recognizes that interactions between resources, as well as between resource users, have a significant impact on any management solution. It therefore seeks to balance the social, economic and environmental demands on resources such that their use is more sustainable and conflicts are reduced.
