Am I interpreting this sentence correctly?
Il nous faut connaître et comprendre l’ensemble complexe que forme la communauté humaine, qui croît et se développe maîtriser l’explosion, souvent désordonnée, de la consommation des ressources naturelles et technologiques qui accompagne l’évolution de la société.
We need to know and understand the complex group that forms the human community, which grows and develops to control the expansion, often messy, of the consumption of natural resources and technologies that come with the evolution of society.
My doubt is with the word maîtriser.
Thanks

Bonjour,
Attention :
Dans votre traduction, il est nécessaire d'ajouter la préposition ''pour'' devant le verbe ''maîtriser'' car vous exprimez un but ( a goal).
A bientôt

Hello,
The word ''maîtriser'', in this sentence, means ''keep under control'' or simply ''control'', so your translation is correct !
Equivalent of ''maîtriser'' : contrôler, réguler
Have a good day !
