		Sustainable use of biological diversity, one of the three objectives of the Convention, is essential to achieving the broader goal of sustainable development and is a cross-cutting issue relevant to all biological and natural resources.
		Sustainable use entails the introduction and application of methods and processes for the utilization of biodiversity to prevent its long term decline, thereby maintaining its potential to meet current and future human needs and aspirations.
		At its fifth meeting, in May 2002, the Conference of the Parties considered sustainable use of biological diversity as a priority issue and adopted decision V/24, on sustainable use as a cross-cutting issue, and decision V/25, on the relationship between biological diversity and tourism within the context of sustainable use.

	THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES NEW ZEALAND AND THE INTERNATIONAL WHALING COMMISSION.
		Sustainable use within traditional societies ensures that wise use is encoded within the cultural norms and social institutions that have evolved over time.
		Where such customary systems fail to maintain sustainable use the cause is not necessarily the commercial use of the resource but may involve failure of the management system to adapt to changing use-demands (which are not related to commercial activities).
		The activity of sustainably using wildlife by indigenous peoples is one of their primary vehicles for the transmission of cultural knowledge from one generation to another.

	Appendix A: Definitions of Sustainable Development (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Sustainable development is not a fixed state of harmony, but rather a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development and institutional changes are made consistent with future as well as present needs.
		Sustainable development - to be the indefinite survival of the human species (with a quality of life beyond mere biological survival) through the maintenance of basic life support systems (air, water, land, biota) and the existence of infrastructures and institutions which distribute and protect the components of these systems.
		Sustainable development may be defined as the development and management of natural resources to ensure or enhance the long-term productive capacity of the resource base and improve the long-term wealth and well-being derived from alternative resource use systems, with acceptable environmental impacts.

	Sustainable Table: The Issues: Organic
		Organic farming was the only type of farming used worldwide until the invention of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in the early 20th century.
		A sustainable farmer might keep his or her animals indoors in bad weather, but the animals are given ample space to move around naturally.
		Sustainable food, however, is distributed and sold as close to the farm as possible.

		The first step in developing sustainable water use policies is the collection of reliable information on water use and availability so that the nature of existing and potential problems may be accurately assessed.
		The reporting program includes the use of sliding-scale reporting thresholds based on the size of the resource and hence to the potential for adverse impacts from any given level of withdrawal.
		Article 4-B also requires the DEP to undertake rulemaking to "establish water use standards for maintaining instream flows and GPA lake or pond water levels that are protective of aquatic life and other uses and that establish criteria for designating watersheds most at risk from cumulative water use.

	Sustainable Table: The Issues: Antibiotics
		These drugs are used to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria without causing significant harm to the host (such as a human or an animal).
		Many of the antibiotics used on livestock and poultry farms are identical or similar to those used in human medicine, meaning that bacteria from farms can infect people with diseases that can not be treated with common antibiotics.
		On sustainable farms, animals are raised in a clean, natural environment that is not a breeding ground for bacteria.

	Sustainable Use Policy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Sustainable use of wildlife is increasingly accepted as a potentially valuable tool for conservation.
		In 1998, the Australasian Wildlife Management Society published a position statement on the Sustainable Commercial Use of Wildlife, stating that the Society, "…believes that there is a place for the commercial, consumptive use of wildlife, and recognises that a potential for a conservation gain from the use is an important positive aspect.
		Projects involving the sustainable use of wildlife cover a range of activities, some of which remain controversial.

	Sustainable Use
		Taking into account that Conservation and Sustainable Use are two of the three objectives of the CBD, as well as principles 1 and 2 of BioTrade, BTFP is carrying out activities to support actors along the selected value chains in the implementation of good practices to achieve these objectives.
		For example, in the context of the natural ingredients value chain, quality is directly linked to the sustainable use of raw materials.
		Results of the experience of BTFP show that the implementation of conservation and sustainable use objectives depends on the development of solutions that respond to the needs of the relevant stakeholders of the value chain and the direct involvement of these actors.

	Staghunting & Sustainable Use (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		While Western based approaches to animal welfare / protection are inherently based on a "top-down" approach pragmatic sustainable use conservation programmes by definition are most effective when local rural communities are given a stake in the wildlife with which they live and thereby the environment of both is sustained.
		Its importance in sustaining game species as well as other animal populations and environments is being ignored in the clamour for abolition.
		Deer clearly used most of the other fields on the farm also, and although the damage to these was not measured in detail, it was quite apparent that in some cases it was much worse than in the trial field.

	ASSURRE
		Sustainable development, while recognised in the Amsterdam Treaty as one of the aims of the EU, has yet to be implemented with regard to the sustainable use of resources in Europe.
		In order for EU policies to be effective and strive towards absolute decoupling of environmental impacts of resource use from economic growth it is crucial to look at the full lifecycle of resource use to determine where the greatest impacts occur.
		Through the integrated management of material flows we should be aiming to significantly maximise the value obtained from natural resources, develop alternative sources of energy, minimise waste and recover value at all stages throughout the material cycle.
