With the growth of programs aimed at participatory development and stakeholder based approaches to natural resources management, there is increasing interest in the development of indicators of environmental quality. These indicators not only allow local management of natural resources, but can also be useful as a tool for local empowerment in issues of natural resources management. They can be helpful to local people trying to determine whether community activities are degrading or improving environmental integrity and can help to widen the circle of people in the community concerned about natural resource issues. A stumbling block, however, is that indicators that are considered scientifically accurate are often dependent on larger environmental bureaucratic structures to develop this information. These structures are often lacking in rural communities; thus alternative indicators are needed . Various efforts have developed locally meaningful indicators that are scientifically valid as indicative of ecosystem states and changes. Natural resources indicators are part of a larger project of sustainable community development.
