The Challenge:a fast-changing lake and
an impoverished community

Unsound Development Model
Historically: a wealthy dairy industry caused ecological
degradation Economic success linked with
the loss of natural and cultural values

BASIC PRINCIPLES(Ecosystem Approach - Conventionof Biological Diversity)
Management objectives are a matter of social decision
Appropriate balance between biodiversity conservation and natural resources use
Equity in the distribution of social costs and benefits of conservation
The use of scientific information and local community knowledge
