There is a nexus between forest accounting and sustainable development. Forests are a valuable resource as they constitute an important component of the terrestrial environmental system and larger resource base. They provide different basic inputs to the global economic cum ecological system in a multi-dimensional way. They provide timber, fuel, pulpwood, fodder, fibre grass and non-wood forest products, and support industrial and commercial activities. The following are the specific objectives of the present research.
1. To identify the reasons for ecological ecosystem loss.
2. To explore the relationship between forest accounting and the rationality of the ecological ecosystem in the context of consumption, production, energy, biodiversity, economics, and ecological balance and sustainability.
3. To identify and measure the ecological ecosystem loss.
4. To develop theoretical modelling of ecological ecosystem sustainability.
The present study is an explorative study on ecological rationality and sustainability through developing a forest accounting system. Essential data has been collected and analysed to find out the present nexus.
About the book :
This book presents five critical dimensions on relationships, institutions, produc-tion, organisation, and governance from design and systems perspectives for thesystematic transition of unstable and vulnerable communities across the world tosustainable community systems.• The first section discusses features of relationships and processes to deepen cooperation and trust within a community.• The second section examines institutions within and outside a district tofoster synergy across institutions within a district and to minimise negativeexternalities on local communities within a district.• The third section deals with food production systems that are nature-friendly, resilient, efficient and sustainable.• The fourth section discusses the design of producer organisations that cangraduate to become sustainable community enterprise systems.• The fifth section focuses on community governance that can facilitatedecentralised, participatory, transparent and democratic local governancesystems.
This book• offers a fresh perspective on design thinking for optimising internal design consistencies.• provides a systems perspective on building sustainable community systemsat the lowest governance unit in different countries, such as Ward/GramPanchayat/Panchayat Council/Gewong/Union Council/GN.• gives insights into design & systems perspectives towards building sustainable community systems within a district of any country across theworld.
