Due to increase in the population,
industrialization and urbanization the demand
for natural resources is increasing and their
availability is limited. So there is a need for
proper management of natural resources.

WHY NEED WE CONSERVE OF
NATURAL RESOURCES

To maintain ecological balance for supporting
life.
To prevent different kinds of species
(biodiversity).
To make the resources available for present
and future generation.

To ensure the survival of human race.
