The acceptability of some industrial and ephemeral development projects such as landfill or mineral extraction may depend upon an ability to restore the landscape after exploitation has been completed. As more rural development projects come to fruition, ecologists will become increasingly involved in resource management to ensure that yields are sustained and to avert the undesirable consequences of development. Some industrial developments and rearranged plant layout schemes will not be complicated, but when ecology studies are needed, the employment of specialist consultants is recommended.

This pattern began to change around the 1920s in response to three important developments. First, the United States became more urbanized. By 1920, for the first time in the nation s history, more people lived in urban areas (about 55 million) than in rural areas (about 50 million). The volume of solid wastes produced in cities and towns increased proportionally, and simple recycling systems of two decades earlier were more difficult to sustain.

Only in the Namibian rural areas surveyed, a closer relationship between the human units and the morama beans was recorded. Herero chiefdoms, traditionally acting as land owners and cattle-herders, kept their own lands and have free access to the communal areas where they still freely pursue traditional gathering practices (Lima de Faria et ah, 2008). These communities sustain a certain hierarchy combined with political autonomy within the Namibian state that gives them power to organize their economies and share the benefits, while maintaining a measure of economic and social sustainability (Lima de Faria et ah, 2008).
