    through conservation and
    sustainable practices.

    - responsibility for
    environmental quality
    shared by all those whose
    actions affect the
    environment.
    ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
    Six Natural Resource Systems And Desired
    Outcomes For Each One:
    Air: Sustain clean and healthy air
    Ecosystems: Protect and restore ecosystems
    functions, goods, and services
    Energy: Generate clean energy and use it efficiently
    Land: Support ecologically sensitive land
    management and development
    Materials: Consume less, reduce waste, and shift to
    environmentally preferable materials
    Water: Sustain water resources to ensure quality
    and availability for desired uses
    ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

    Sustainable Development 
    - meeting the needs of the present without
    compromising the ability of future generations to
    meet their own needs. (Brundtland, 1987, p. 41)

    A related concept is environmental management,


    where the natural resources of the environment are
    managed through policies designed to protect
    natural values while providing a framework for use. 
    ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

    Environmental Education 
    - includes stewardship provides opportunities for
    participants to connect with local ecosystems
    and tools that can help them understand how
    individual behavior impacts the environment. (
    NOAA Education Council, 2015).
     
    ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

    Stewardship Action 
    - These are the activities, behaviors, decisions, and
    technologies carried out by stewards--individuals,
    groups, or networks of actors.
    ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

    Stewardship Measure 
    - Quantifiable benefits to the environment that are
    a result of a stewardship action or project.
    ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

    Types of Stewardship
    1. Restoration and Protection

    Actions that assist in the recovery or


    preservation of an ecosystem that have been
    degraded, damaged or destroyed and allow that
    ecosystem to evolve with minimal human influence

    behaviors

    policy decisions that can improve environmental
    outcomes for many people or organizations at
    once

    Types of Stewardship
    5. Stewardship Science

    Actions that collect and report monitoring data


    in an ecosystem that inform management of the
    natural resource.
    ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

    Environmental Stewardship Theory


    Some basic concepts of environmental
    management and ethics, especially as they apply to
    tourism, include carrying capacity, footprint,
    tragedy of the commons, and the tourism paradox.
    ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

    Environmental Stewardship Theory


    1. Carrying capacity

    “the average maximum number of individuals of


    a given species that can occupy a particular habitat
    without permanently impairing the productive
    capacity of that habitat” (Rees, 2001, p. 229).

    2. Ecological Footprint

    is essentially a tool to analyze the impact of a


    population on Earth (Rees, 2001).

    Environmental Stewardship Theory


    3. Tragedy of the Commons

    an economic theory first proposed by Garrett


    Hardin in 1968, which states that if individuals are
    given the chance to overuse a common property,
    they will, in order to realize the maximum personal
    benefits
