Natural Resource Management

  • It means management anthropogenic activities with environmentally tolerable limits, which take into account the benefits and costs to the society as a whole and regulate the demands of man in such a manner that the ability of the same environment to sustain his development remain unpaired.

 

 

Sustainable Development

  • It is the development that meets the demands of the present generation without compromising the preserving ability of the future generation to meet their needs.
  • A sustainable development is built on four pillars-conservation, recycling, renewable resources, and population control.

 

 

How?

  1. Utilize renewable resources at rates less than or equal to the natural rate at which they generate.
  2. Keep waste flows to the environment at or below the assimilative capacity of the environment.
  3. Ensure that as exhaustible resources are depleted that their reduced stock is compensating for by increase in renewable resources and technological progress.
  4. All the give standard of living can be secured from a reducing stock of resources i.e. through increased efficiency of resource use.
