Hi, today we are going to discuss a great issue in ecology natural resources management principles which gives us a general overview on why it is so important to manage our natural resources for a better environment. But before we go forward we should know about natural resources and its importance.

What is Natural Resources:
In our nature we need different substances for maintaining our daily life like sunlight, water bodies, atmosphere and other different elements of our environment which we use for different purposes. In short we can say everything we collect from nature to maintain our life all are examples of natural resources.
What is Natural Resources Management:
When we are able to manage different natural resources like animals, plants, air, soil, water bodies widely so that we can preserve them for future use as well as present controlled use. Wise management of natural resources gives us security to get help from the natural resources for long term without harming them.
Natural resources management stress on scientific management of natural resources saves the natural resources from overexploitation and extinction. For example in a forest if tree cutting occurs in the same area multiple times then it can cause complete destruction of the forest but if the trees log collected in a controlled way by rotating the place for tree cutting then we can save the forest along with economic benefits.
Why We Need to Manage Natural Resources:
Now we face a crisis to meet our basic natural resources because of different reasons like overexploitation of natural resources, overgrowth in population. The natural resources are not present in sufficient amounts as compared to the requirements of a population.
For this reason we should think about natural resources management for us and our next generation because scientific management of natural resources can only save us from natural resources crises.
We can easily see this in our reality when we face our demand for drinking water. The availability of drinking water is going down day by day but its requirements are much higher day by day due to our exponential growing population. So we should manage drinking water scientifically so that we do not face drinking water unavailability very soon.
This crisis for natural resources is not only for our growing population, sometimes we over exploit our natural resources and we do not pay attention to the reality about the limited resources. Different anthropogenic reasons also cause destruction of natural resources for an example, deforestation is not good for our environment and it will destroy many natural resources very soon.
Main Objectives for Natural Resources Management:
Main objectives for scientific Management of natural resources are improving our environment better for our life, saving the natural resources for our next generation, and maintaining better climatic conditions.
Way to Manage Natural Resources:
Now we will discuss various approaches to conserve our national resources to prevent a great crisis of natural resources for our next generation. We should take all the steps which prevent over exploitation of natural resources and save them.
First step to manage natural resources is enforcement of law for preventing over exploitation of natural resources. Different countries have passed various laws for conservation of natural resources so anyone who over exploits the natural resources comes under the procedure of law.
We should give more emphasis on water conservation and treatment of non drinkable water to convert them to pure drinkable water.
We should focus on recycling different products as much as possible instead of producing new products which saves a lot of natural resources.
We should control different types of pollution because it makes the natural resources unusable for better health.
