    Forest resources include land, trees, plants, and animals that maintain ecological stability. Sustainable development preserves resources for future generations by considering extraction rates and who benefits. Several stakeholders, including governments, industries, and communities, are responsible for managing resources. Water is renewable but scarce, with human activities like deforestation and pollution reducing availability. Sustainable and environmentally friendly practices are needed to manage water and non-renewable resources like coal and petroleum, which also contribute to environmental problems and global warming when used carelessly. Individual responsibility is important for conserving natural resources.

    Management of Natural Resources

    Management of Forest Resources

    Forest resources include the land, trees and different life forms including bacteria,
    fungi, ferns, flowering plants, nematodes, insects, birds, reptiles and large animals.

    Forests are biodiversity hotspots – together, all the species of plants and animals
    help maintain the ecological stability of the forests.

    We depend on the resources offered by our forests in many ways.

    Preserving our forests and not using resources indiscriminately is critical in order
    to avoid disturbing the delicate ecological balance, depleting limited resources and
    polluting the environment.

    Sustainable development and management of resources involves using available


    resources in a manner that also preserves these resources for future generations.

    Sustainable management means thinking about how much we’re giving back, how
    we’re extracting the resources, and who is benefiting from the use of these
    resources.

    Several stakeholders are together responsible for managing our resources. These
    include the government, industrialists, local forest dwellers, wildlife and natural
    enthusiasts, as well as all of us.

    Management of Water and Coal Resources

    Water is a renewable resource. However, only a small fraction of the total available
    water on earth is usable for human requirements.
    The negative impact of human activities such as deforestation and pollution is
    further reducing the amount of available water.

    Since water is so scarce and so valuable, it is very important to develop sustainable


    and environment friendly ways to manage water resource.

    Dams are a popular method of managing resources. They provide benefits like
    availability of hydroelectric power and water to large area. However, they also lead
    to several social, economic and environmental problems.

    There are several local methods of water resource management that are economic
    and environment friendly. It is important to recognise the value of these methods.

    Coal and petroleum are two other important natural resources. These are non
    renewable sources of energy. They are scarce resources and it is important to use
    them judiciously.

    Careless and indiscriminate use of coal and petroleum resources also leads to
    severe negative impact on the environment and increases global warming.

    Every individual has a responsibility towards conserving natural resources. These


    are several steps you can take to reduce the amount of energy you use in your day
    to day life.
