BlackGOLD Economic Sustainability
BlackGOLD's Economic Sustainability plan
aims to optimise the economic benefits for
income, employment, goods and services
from the mixture of natural resource
uses within ecological constraints.
We
require that benefits to the groups in
question exceed the costs incurred, and
that some form of equivalent capital is
handed down from one generation to the
next so that our use of the natural
resources does not preclude or foreclose
on future use options by future
generations.
Management of these natural resources
use the precautionary principle for
prevention of environmental
degradation and the principle of
inter-generational equity to maintain
the suite of natural values for present
and future generations.
A key
objective of our economic plan is
sustainable natural resource management
so as to
maintain an extensive and permanent
natural estate.
