人类与自然的关系及自然资源可持续利用问题

PROBLEMS OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF HUMAN BEINGAND NATURE AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES

为了维持人类生存，人类与自然间的关系必须是一种平衡的关系。然而不幸的是人类已把其自身与自然有限能力的关系置于一种危险的不平衡的境地。许多自然资源已经耗用到灭绝的程度。此外，自然对废物的同化能力实质上已经受到损害。造成环境上的告急。事实上，人类已对自身的生存造成威胁。因此，保护自然和自然资源已成为当前人类面临的头等大事。世界自然基金会认为促进和实施对自然资源的可持续利用应视为当今世界保护自然的一项主要措施。靠现有的和传统的保护方式如建立保护区进行保护是难以成功的。因而，采用一种综合的方式，把在生态上的可持续性与人类需要、建立保护区和自然资源的可持续利用结合起来，相互补充。这样一种综合方式将引导人类———各行各业各层次的人和一切生物进入一种与他们的环境和谐、相互支持和相互有益关系之中。

? To sustain human survival, the relationship between humans and nature has to be a balanced one. Unfortunately, however, human being have placed itself in a precariously unbalancd position in relation to the finite capacity of nature. Many natural resources have been depleted to the point of extinction. In addition, nature's waste assimilative capacity has been grossly abused, causing environmental problems of an alarming proportion. Human being has, in fact, created a threat to its own survival.Therefore, nature and natural resources conservation have been become the most important problem confronting the human being in the world today. WWF sees the promotion and practice of sustainable use of natural resources as an essential mean to conserve nature in today's world. Existing and traditianal approaches to conservation such as the extablishment of protected areas will not succeed by themselves in achieving conservation. In an integrated approach, however, which links ecological sustainability with human needs, the establishment of protected areas and the sustainable use of natural resources can be mutually complementary. Such an integrated approach will serve to bring human-as economic actors, social beings, and dependents of nature-into a harmonious, matually supportive, and matually beneficial relationship with their environment.
