    Natural resources include air, water, soil, forests, and minerals. They are classified as either renewable, like air and water, or non-renewable, like coal and metals. Due to population growth, industrialization, and urbanization, demand for natural resources is increasing while availability is limited, so proper management is needed. Effective management involves judiciously using resources and avoiding waste, long-term planning to ensure sustainability for future generations, equal distribution of resource benefits, and safe waste disposal to prevent environmental pollution.

    Sustainable Management

    of Natural Resources
    Natural resources :-
    Natural resources are the resources available in a nature
    like air, water, sunlight, soil, minerals, forests, wild life etc.
    Natural resources are of two main types. They are

    renewable and non-renewable natural resources.


    i) Renewable natural resources :-
    Those resources which can be replenished in a short
    period of time like air, water, sunlight, forests etc.
    ii) Non-renewable natural resources :-
    Those resources which cannot be replenished in a short
    period of time like minerals (coal, petroleum, natural gas,
    metals etc.) because they take millions of years to be
    formed. Human activities produce a lot of waste materials
    which are thrown away into the environment. These wastes
    cause pollution of natural resources like air, water and soil.

    Resources
    Ways to save Resources
    Need for management of natural
    resources :-
    All the things we use and consume are obtained from natural resources. Due
    to increase in population, industrialisation and urbanisation the demand for
    natural resources is increasing and their availability is limited . So there is a
    need for proper management of natural resources.
    The proper management of natural resources consists of :-
    i) Judicious use of natural resources and avoiding wastage of natural
    resources.
    ii) Long term planning for the use of natural resources so
    that it last not only for the present but also for future generations.
    iii) The exploitation of natural resources should not be for the benefit of a
    few people but should be distributed
    equally for all.
    iv) While extracting and using natural resources we should also plan for the
    safe disposal of wastes and avoid pollution so that no damage is caused
    to the environment.
