5  Ecologically sustainable use                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Sections 4.1, 4.2, 5.3, 7, 8.1, 9.5, 9.7, 9.8

If resource use is consistent with the management principles that apply to a reserve or zone, it should (if it is carried out) be based on the principle (the principle of ecologically sustainable use) that:

   (a)         natural resources should only be used within their capacity to sustain natural processes while maintaining the life-support systems of nature; and

   (b)         the benefit of the use to the present generation should not diminish the potential of the reserve or zone to meet the needs and aspirations of future generations.
