“…The outcome of such concerns resulted in human efforts being diverted into creating an easy means to their survival as the hope of gaining employment was almost seen as impossible. Responses from participants are perpetually resounding, particularly that which is concerned with problems associated with lack of core livelihood assets as highlighted by Jackson (2021) in the deconstruction of the sustainable livelihood framework (SLF) diagram as shown in Figure 1. As seen in Figure 1 and in addition to earlier discourses, it seems obvious that a community like Goderich is continuously fretted with deprivation of all or a good number of the essential livelihood assets (human, financial, physical, natural and social) needed to address decent means of survival.…”

This qualitative research championed through participant observation has made it possible for thought-provoking views to be explored in understanding residents' reason(s) for adopting identified strategies in diversifying their sustained state of well-being. The field exercise, which was undertaken in Goderich has provided simplified narratives of the community's historical background, with concerns about livelihood choices and risks to the environmental. The study outcome shows that the pursuit of exploring livelihood choices is detrimental to the environment owing to voracious activities like sandmining and stone-quarrying people utilise to sustain lives. The study concludes, with some proffered suggestions the importance of building transforming structures through means of effective regulations or policies to minimise destruction to the environment, with implications for climate change. Finally, the study outcome also recommends the embracement of identified/specific strategies to improve well-beingincorporating various attributes aimed at combating vulnerabilities associated with the over-exploitation of livelihood assets in Goderich.

“…Institutional and state-level limitations, mismanagement, and corruption, as well as social prejudices and elite capture of public resources, can undermine SLF efforts to achieve basic needs, such as access to resources like food, clean water, medicine, and shelter (Jackson, 2020). Combining sustainable livelihoods and community capitals, Cafer et al (2019) highlight that system-level capacities can be easily overlooked by both frameworks.…”

The world faced stark challenges during the global pandemic caused by COVID-19. Large forces such as climate change, cultural ethnocentrism and racism, and increasing wealth inequality continue to ripple through communities harming community well-being. While the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 exacerbated these forces, lessons across the globe have been captured that inform the field of community well-being long-after the end of the pandemic. While many scholars have looked to political capital, financial capital, and social capital to tackle these challenges, natural capital and cultural capital have extreme relevance. However, scholarship tends to overlook the inextricable and important links between natural capital and cultural capital in community development and well-being work. These capital forms also inform contemporary understandings of sustainability and environmental justice, especially in the fields of community development and well-being. This perspective article showcases the deep connections between natural capital and social capital through literature review and community cases across the globe. Questions are posed for future research and practice tethering together cultural capital and natural capital when looking to bolster community well-being.
