Wetlands despite being rich in biodiversity and associated ecosystem services, they are often poorly acknowledged by the concerned stakeholders. This lack of affirmation exposes wetlands to different anthropogenic disturbances, driving towards their loss and degradation. Population growth and enhanced purchasing power are exacerbating the problems. Non-consumptive value of wetlands for sustainable development are poorly explored in case of Nepal. This article aims to identify the prospects of ecotourism as tools for sustainable management of ecotourism in Nepal by synthesizing finding of available literatures on ecotourism and wetland. Nepal is home to 5000 lakes and many more wetlands but they are poorly managed and thus fail to make significant contribution to the local livelihood. Wise use of these valuable resources could turn wetlands into panacea. Ecotourism is one of the potential tool for wise use of wetlands. This sustainable alternative of mass tourism generates funds for conservation of wetland, generate economic opportunity and helps to address the issue of poverty and other social problems. Wetlands are home to wide variety of wild mammals, birds and other plants and animals thus are potential sites for ecotourism. Properly planned and executed ecotourism plans can this ecotourism potential into tools of sustainable development for Nepal.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development incorporates 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Goal 15 (SDG 15) focuses on terrestrial ecosystems. Regarding forests, it sets targets requiring signatories to promote the implementation of the sustainable management of all types of forests by 2020 and further mobilize significant resources from all sources to achieve sustainable forest management. The United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests 2017 – 2030 advances the vision of SDG 15. Nigeria’s high demographic growth rate has led to the surging demand for land to support settlements and farming. Coupled with extensive illegal or uncontrolled logging, the annual forest net loss of 5% is one of the highest rates globally in percentage terms. This paper is a critical analysis of the policy-law interface of the forestry sector in Nigeria. It examines the country’s trajectory or state of preparedness for sustainable forest management, and it concludes that forestry policy and law in Nigeria must undergo urgent reforms so that the forest commitments such as those under SDG 15 and other regional and global instruments can be ultimately achieved.

Alternative forms of tourism are increasingly recognized as key to sustainable development. The reasons for this are that, contrary to mass tourism with its negative impact on the visited areas, alternative tourism causes a form of balanced growth, in harmony with the environment and in socio-cultural terms. The development of tourism in a sustainable way is relatedto the implementation of an innovative strategy by touristic organizations. The advantage of tourist resources is that they can be reused without compromising their quality, provided, however, that no actions are taken to destroy or change them irrevocably. The biggest guidance for strengthening tourism is the ability of managers to formulate a strategy for achieving competitive advantage for their organizations. The goals of sustainable touristic development are economic viability, local prosperity, quality of employment, social equality, visitor satisfaction, local control, social well-being, cultural wealth, physical integrity, biodiversity, efficient use of resources, cleanliness of the environment. In this respect, the cluster model of organization and coordination of tourism activity is a prerequisite for economic and social efficiency, especially for the development of touristic destinations in local settlements and resorts, in combination with various public authorities and especially between private companies and enterprises.Whatever the environment of the region, care must be taken to preserve it for future generations. Today's world is very dynamic and change is intangible. The purpose of adaptation is not to destroy the principles of sustainability. If they, as well as the adoption of adequate policies, remain unused, then tourism tourism will be to the detriment of the environment.

Urban tourist destinations or City Break destinations are representing one of main destination products on tourist market. City Break destinations are big cities, administrative, economic and political centers of states and regions. These cities are 'open' 24 hours per day, seven days in week. Inside these tourist destination we can find different range of products (culture, entertainment, recreation, leisure, history, modern infrastructure). In these destinations season is not present and it lasts trough out the year. Promotional campaigns in City Break destinations are truing to create distinguished images in tourists mind as also as on investors, consumers and future residents. They emphasize advantages that those cities are delivering to their consumers, but often we forget that all these cities are having specific geographic landscapes. In the era of limiting of mass tourism to preserve resources for future generations and emphasizing the importance of sustainable development for tourism perspectives, the importance of specific geographic landscapes inside urban destinations for their further development as tourist destinations an their overall development is slightly neglected.

The purpose of the article is to define an innovative concept of sustainable management based on the analysis of the institutional configuration of business ecosystem entities. The concept of sustainable (SUST) management is outlined as the creation of conditions for multi-entity management of territorial capital on the basis of digital platform technologies and the principles of partnership between government, business and the population. The institutional configuration of territorial business ecosystems is analyzed. It is determined that the business-ecosystem organization of economic activity is a flexible and dynamic system that creates opportunities for the integration of natural resources into economic circulation in territorial communities. It is established that there is a need for a radical restructuring of the institutional configuration of the spatial management system of natural resources in the direction of creating a system of multi-entity management of territorial capital. The main institutions and institutes of the spatial system of natural resources management of the territorial business ecosystem are outlined, in the field of local government, public-private partnership, corporate-platform and structural-project management, etc., within which economic actors of business ecosystems are endowed with appropriate functions and powers.. The structure of the business-ecosystem concept of sustainable management is detailed, including the basic formats of institutionalization of territorial assets management, informational and communicational platform component and management mechanisms of sustainable management, which are focused on creating a system of multi-entity management of sustainable development of territorial communities. Basic formats and forms of institutionalization of territorial assets management in the conditions of decentralization of power are proposed, including communication platforms of collaborative interactions between public authorities, business and population, as well as a set of mechanisms of structural and project management of sustainable development of territorial communities.
