1)The conservation, the economic, non-state actors, local views.

2) The conservation:  The object is that the nature does not need human interference, it restores itself. Nature only requires humans to maintain it. The motivation is that it justifies the approach by creating alarm and panic about the state of the environment.

The economic view: The objective is that the environment is seen as commodity that is primarily there for selling-buying. The view is seen as an economic asset. The motivation is that nature is an untapped resource that should be exploited to lift people out of poverty- so a profit as well as development motive.

The non-state actor view: The objective is that the view originate from external interested parties outside of the local community. Motivation for the approach is a belief in the value of the environment that should be protected and respected.

The local community view:  This view are complex and highly differentiated, because it is informed by time, place, individual characteristics and circumstances as well as local power politics. The motivation for the approach is influenced by the nature of the relationship with the environment as shaped by the socio-political context.

3) Yes they do. All of this narratives helps us to understand more of our South African nature and how we contribute to the natures 'well-being'. It also helps us to understand what we as humans do that harms our country's nature.

4) Sustainable development: This discourse works along other countries to advance the theory and practice of ecosystem accounting called the Natural Capital Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem services project. This discourse shows how and where people most depend on and impact nature.

 Social justice discourses in SA - Shows us the problems in our communities such as poverty, poor quality education and unemployment. And also how we contributes to these problems. Power relations, political undertones, radicalism form the basis for the fight for environmental justice in SA.

5) By using the ecosystem accounting it will help to provide us with a systematic way to measure, track and report on stock and flows of natural capital. It will help the SA policies to know what problems they should fix.
