NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: Restoring Humanity's Environmental Mandate

The environmental crisis of our time is not merely scientific or political—it is profoundly managerial, moral, and spiritual.
In Natural Resources Management: Restoring Humanity’s Environmental Mandate, Goodson Mumba presents a compelling framework that reclaims humanity’s original role as stewards of creation, not exploiters of it. Drawing from biblical foundations, management science, sustainability principles, and ethical leadership, this book bridges faith and practice to address the urgent challenge of caring for the earth.
From Edenic stewardship and biblical ecology to climate responsibility, sustainable agriculture, clean energy, and corporate environmental ethics, this book offers a holistic and actionable approach to managing land, water, forests, energy, and ecosystems. It confronts the roots of environmental degradation while offering pathways for restoration, resilience, and generational responsibility.
More than a textbook or theological reflection, this work is a call to action—for leaders, organizations, policymakers, faith communities, and individuals—to reimagine development, productivity, and progress through the lens of stewardship.
If humanity is to leave a healed earth for future generations, environmental management must move beyond regulation to restored purpose.
This book invites you to rediscover that purpose—and to participate in the sacred work of healing the earth.
