Self identities define how people interact for purpose of managing the natural environment. As a result different societies have different conceptions in managing environmental systems and may vary within and between societies. Every human being is affected by social and biophysical environment in which they live. The process of managing it can be facilitated by understanding both the people involved and the processes leading to such identities. At the same time, the idea of inter generational transmission of the best environmental management attitudes as part of education should be encouraged.
