Intergenerational equity is directly linked to sustainable development and environmental issues and is committed to equity for future generations. In this regard, land stewardship has many implications for the protection, sustainable use, and degradation or restoration of the environment. Poverty can lead to unbalanced natural ecosystems, loss of diversity, and large-scale deforestation. These factors can have a direct impact on natural resources and are mainly caused by poverty and outmigration. It has also been suggested that in certain situations, damage to the local environment cannot be effectively ceased unless rural livelihood disputes are suitably addressed, and these should be made with an approach that focuses primarily on delivering support for sustainable livelihoods through long-term plans. This is essential to current and future generations, and, as a corollary, to the concept of intergenerational equity.
