Environmental Management can be defined as “the management of the interaction and impact of human activities on the natural environment”.
Environmental management further aims to ensure that ecosystem services and biodiversity are protected and
maintained for equitable use by future human generations, and also, maintains ecosystem integrity as an end in itself by
taking into consideration ethical, economic, and scientific (ecological) variables. Environmental management tries to
identify the factors that have a stake in the conflicts that may rise between meeting the needs and protecting the
environment.
