 ❖ ABSTRACT

Natural resource conservation is the practice of managing Earth's resources—such as

water, soil, forests, minerals, and biodiversity—to ensure their long-term sustainability. It
focuses on preventing the depletion, degradation, and pollution of these resources,
recognizing their finite nature and the essential role they play in supporting ecosystems
and human life.
Conservation efforts include strategies like sustainable agriculture, reforestation,
habitat restoration, and the protection of endangered species. Additionally, it involves
reducing resource consumption, promoting recycling, and fostering responsible land
and water management practices. Policies, laws, and international agreements are
critical in guiding these efforts, while technological innovations offer solutions to
minimize human impact.
 ❖ INTRODUCTION

Natural resources are materials available on the planet that can be used to keep people alive
and meet their needs.

A natural resource might be any natural substance that humans utilise. This includes air, coal,
natural gas, metals, stone, sand, air, sunlight, soil, and water.
Natural resources may also include animals, birds, fish, and vegetation.
Food, fuel, and raw materials for manufacturing are all made from natural resources.
Plants and animals provide all of the food that people consume. Heat, light, and
power are provided by natural resources such as coal, natural gas, and oil.

Natural resources are strongly intertwined, therefore, removing one item would have
an impact on the availability or quality of the others. If water is removed from a
region, the vegetation, soils, animals, and even the air in that region will suffer.

TYPES OF NATURAL RESOURCES

What are the Different Types of Natural Resources?

Natural Resources can be categorized into two main categories —

• Renewable resources of energy.

• Non-renewable resources of energy.
1. Renewable Resources

Renewable resources are those that are either always available like water, air, and sun
or can be replaced or recovered in a reasonable amount of time like vegetative lands.
Animals can also be considered renewable since they may produce young ones to
replace adult animals.

Organic renewable resources are renewable resources that originate from living
things like trees and animals. Inorganic renewable resources are renewable
resources that originate from non-living sources such as water, sunlight, and wind.

2.Non-renewable Resources

Non-renewable resources are resources that can't be replenished once they've been
depleted or cannot be recovered in a reasonable amount of time. Fossil fuels, and
minerals are examples of non-renewable resources because, while they form
naturally through o process known as the rock cycle, the process can take thousands
of years, making them non-renewable.

If non-renewable resources come from non-living entities, they are referred to

as inorganic resources. Minerals, wind, land, dirt, and rocks are examples.
Some non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels, are derived from living things.
They're classified as organic non-renewable resources.

Importance of Natural Resources

Natural resources are available to support the incredibly complex relationship
between the living and non-living things. This interaction is also extremely beneficial
to humans.

There are three ways that we consume natural resources, which include food, living, and
mobility.
Food
Agricultural products, as well as naturally occurring foods like freshwater and sea
fish, seeds and nuts, medicines, herbs, and plants. They also include water for
sanitation and home use, as well as drinking water. Ceramic plates, silverware,
cans, milk containers, paper, and plastic cups are all created from raw materials that
come from natural resources.
 Threats to Natural Resources

As natural resources occur freely in nature, people overuse them without thinking,
and in doing so, they deplete these resources. Some major threats to natural resources
are as follows

Overpopulation

With more mouths to feed and people to provide homes for, more land area and forest
areas are being cleared, which is destroying the natural vegetation and farms.
Demands for wood and products made by wood have increased drastically, which also
results in the clearing of forests. Overpopulation occurs when the population of a species
exceeds the environment's capacity to sustain it. This can lead to a number of negative
consequences, including: Environmental degradation, Impaired quality of life, and
Population crash.
Environmental Pollution

Environmental pollution is the contamination of air, water, and soil by harmful substances,
resulting from human activities such as industrial production, transportation, and waste
disposal. It poses serious threats to ecosystems, human health, and biodiversity. Common
pollutants include chemicals, plastics, greenhouse gases, and heavy metals. Pollution
disrupts natural processes, contributes to climate change, and leads to long-term
environmental degradation, requiring urgent action for mitigation and sustainable solutions.
 Conservation of Natural Resources

Conservation of natural resources is very important as natural resources are essential for
human survival, yet not all natural resources are renewable. The tremendous increase in
climate change is due to human activity, particularly the usage of non-renewable
resources such as fossil fuels. By conserving our natural resources, we can have a more
positive impact on our natural environment.

There are several ways to conserve natural resources in-our very own home, such as:

• Use less water — Taking shorter showers and turning off the laps when not in use can
reduce water wastage.
• Turn off the lights — During the day or when not required, turn off any electronic device.
• Additionally, LED light bulbs can be-used as they consume very less power.
• Walking, using bicycles and sharing vehicles for long distances help in saving fuel.
• Use renewable energy — Using solar panels, wind energy, and hydro energy can
significantly reduce our dependence and cut back on resource depletion over time.

The Three Rs — Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.

Reduce
Use things carefully to reduce the amount of waste you generate. For example, you can turn
off devices when not in use, turn off the tap when not in use, and select products from nearby
stores.

Reuse
Find new ways to use items that would otherwise be thrown away. For example, you can turn
glass food jars into pen holders or turn old clothes into dust rags.

Recycle
Use waste as a resource. For example, you can sort waste into specific containers,
process recycled waste to reduce gases and toxic waste, and create new products fro
Soil Conservation

Soil conservation is preventing soil erosion and enhancing soil fertility through various
approaches.
1. Soil fertility maintenance: Soil can be preserved by applying manure and fertilisers
regularly, as well as crop rotation.
2. Grazing control: Grazing should be restricted to designated locations.
3. Reforestation: Trees and plants help prevent soil erosion.
4. Terracing: Splitting a slope into multiple flat fields to manage water flow. It is primarily
practised in hilly places.
5. Contour ploughing: Ploughing at an angle to the slope enables the furrows to absorb water
and prevent soil erosion caused by rain.

Water Conservation

Water conservation and management are critical for humanity, plants, and animals to survive.
This can be accomplished in the following ways:

1. Establishing vegetation in catchment regions to retain water in the soil, seeping into greater
depths and contributing to groundwater creation.
2. Building dams and reservoirs to control water flow to the fields and to permit hydroelectric
generating.
3. Sewage should be treated before being released into rivers, and only clear water should
indeed be released.
4. Hazardous wastewater (effluents) should be handled to protect freshwater from chemical
and thermal pollution.
5. Efficient utilisation of water in our daily lives.
6. Rainwater harvesting should be accomplished by storing rainwater and groundwater
recharge.
 Biodiversity Preservation

There are two fundamental strategies for biodiversity conservation: -

• In-situ (on-site) conservation: In-situ (on-site) conservation means protecting plants
and animals in their native habitats or protected areas. Protected areas are areas of land
or sea that have been set aside to preserve and protect biodiversity. For instance,
National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries, and Biosphere Reserves are examples.
• Ex-situ (off-site) conservation: Ex-situ (off-site) conservation is the process of
preserving plants and animals in their native environments. Botanical gardens, zoos,
gene banks, DNA banks, seed banks, pollen banks, seedling and tissue culture facilities
are only a few examples.

Energy Sources Conservation

• Minimise reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

• Emphasis on the usage of renewable energy sources.
• Eliminate energy waste.
• Raising public awareness of the importance of energy conservation and prudent use.
• Increase reliance on biomass-based energy.

Conservation Legislation:

The Indian constitution has numerous acts and legislation aimed at the conservation of natural
resources. Among them are the following:
• National Forest Policy, 1988
• Environment Protection Act, 1986
• Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980
• Wildlife Protection Act, 19

 ❖ CONCLUSION

In this article, we studied the meaning of natural resources and their types. We also
studied that these resources play a major role in our daily lives and are used as raw
materials for various other resources. Now we know that the conservation of these
resources is very important, and we play a major role ‘in conserving them.
