2. INTRODUCTION~~
❖NATURAL RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT (NRM)
REFERS TO THE SUSTAINABLE
UTILIZATION OF MAJOR
NATURAL RESOURCES, SUCH AS
LAND,WATER, AIR, MINERALS,
FORESTS, FISHERIES, AND WILD
FLORA AND FAUNA.

3. ❖In our surroundings,so many species are there which
require a need to protect them as well as to conserve
the environment.

4. Treaties and Conventions for the
improvement and protection of the
environment~~~
•Vienna Convention for the Protection
of the ozone Layer 1985.
•Berne Convention on the
Conservation of European Wildlife
and natural habitats, 1982.

5. ❖Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
Fauna and Flora, 1975(CITES).
❖Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air pollution,1983
(CLRTAP).
❖Convention on the Conservation of Migratory species of Wild
Animals, 1983 (CMS).

6. INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS~~
➢ In mid 1960s some scientists were sounding warning about the possibility of climate
change due to increase CO2 levels in the atmosphere resulting from burning of fossil
fuels.
➢ In the United State of America, this climate of thought and innovative legislators
produced a law that represented a landmark in environmental management not only
in U. S but also worldwide- the National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA) 1969.
➢ NEPA- agency planning and decision making and integrated interdisciplinaryuse of
the natural and social service and the environmental design art.

7. ➢In the decade of 1970s many government introduced environmental
legislation, established agencies with environmental responsibilities.
➢By 1980, the handling and disposal of hazardous waste was recognized as a
national and global issue. Through the 1970s and 1980s, the growth of
chemical manufacturing in developing countries exceeded that of the developed
World.
➢In 1970s and 1980s air pollution, burning of fossil fuels, SO2 and CO2
growth an emissions was major field of concern.
➢In 1980 the World conservation strategy, published by the World
Conservation Union(IUCN), the UNEP and the World Wide Fund for
nature(WWF).

8. FUTURE PROSPECTS
v At this point the Kyoto protocol had been ratified
by 151 states and the European community. To enter
in to force, it needed 55% of the states whose
aggregate CO2 emissions for 1990 amount to 55% of
total emissions. Since emissions from Russia and the
United States are such large proportion of the total, in
practice this needed at least one of them to ratified,
which Russia did in 2004.The Protocol then entered in
force in 2005,without USA, the protocol’s
effectiveness will be that much less, though it's
approach remains controversial.

9. CONCLUSION~
Environmental degradation which is
getting worse day-by-day due to the
ignorance of the people towards the
environment. Many government
organisations, NGOs etc. have taken
initiative to protect the environment
but it can only be protected when the
people with the understanding and
enthusiasm protect and conserve the
environment.
