Our natural resources are our assets whose prudent and sustainable use is necessary for the well being of humans and other living other organisms. Unfortunately, the continuous and ever increasing demand for basic items of survival and technological developments have caused us to explore and exploit all possible natural resources. As individuals we tend to consume resources without giving a thought to conservation or harmful impact of over use or careless consumption. Other stake holders like industry are also driven by short term gains. Governments across the globe have been slow to react to the risks of various stake holders and have learnt the hard way that we are dangerously coming to a point where over exploitation and mismanagement is leading to global energy crisis and global warming.
Governments, individuals and other stake holders are now realizing the issues involved and need to act sensibly to maintain a balance between environment and development. No doubt sustainable management of natural resources at all levels is a difficult task. We still have to adjust our requirements, individually and collectively so that the benefits of management and conservation reach the widest cross section of society and meet the future generations.
