3. INTRODUCTION
Resource are the sources of supply or support, generally held in
deserve. They include useful information, materials or services.
Resources are of two main groups. Human resources and natural
resources. Human resources include the wisdom knowledge, experience,
expertise, labor etc of mankind.
Manmade resources are any resources that do not occur naturally in
nature man made resources are too naturally in nature. Manmade
resources are too essential for the now days late. Important manmade
resources are zoos, museums and botanical gardens. The Bronx zoo is
one of the most popular zoo in the world. The hermitage museum in Saint
Peters Burg, Russia is the largest museum in the world. Kew Garden
(Royal Botanic Garden- Landon) is the world largest botanical garden.

4. DEFINITIONS
Zoo:
A Zoo is a facility in which animals are contained within
enclosures, displayed to the public and in which they may also be breed.
The term zoological garden refers to zoology the study of animals, a term
deriving from Greek ‘Zoon’ (means animal) and ‘logos’ (Study). The
abbreviation ‘zoo’ first used on the London zoological garden.

5. Museum:
A museum is an institution that cares for a collection of artifacts
and other objects of scientific, artistic, cultural or historical importance
and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may
be permanent or temporary. Museum is originally from the ancient Greek
‘Mouseion’, which denotes a place or temple. The first museum is
considered to be the one of Plato in Athens.

6. BotanicalGarden:
A botanical garden is a garden dedicated to the collection,
cultivation and display of a wide range of plants labeled with their
botanical names. It may contain specialist plant collections such as cacti
and succulent plants, herb gardens etc.

7. IMPORTANCE OF MAN MAID RESOURCES
Zoo:
Zoos are important for several reasons. They contribute to
conservation, science and veterinary research. They provide an
educational, rewarding experience for visitors. They also provide shelters
for animals. Zoo is a park or institution where a collection of animals live
and are viewed by the public. Zoos provide breeding sanctuaries for
animals that are endangered because of habitat destruction, especially in
tropical environments.
Museum:
Museums are helpful in satisfying the curiosity of students
concerning numerous scientific problems. They provide non-formal
educational environment where students learn themselves. Students learn
about the fart historical facts and their relationship with the environment
from museums. Museums provide insight about the important concept of
biological sciences. Museum is a collection of things connected with

8. science teaching. This collection is made with a view to enables the
students to observe the collections and have a realistic experience about
them. In a museum insects, fishes, snakes, birds, mammals working
models, dry exhibits, flowers, improvised apparatus, charts, pictures etc.
can be collected and arranged. It is very much desirable that every school
should have a science museum of its own. The teachers should encourage
the students to collect materials of scientific interest and improvise some
apparatus.
Education
In terms of education, going to a museum can bring what is taught in
schools to life, by seeing artifacts or paintings for example. If children are
learning about the Romans for example and they go to an exhibition full
of armor and weapons dating from that period, they are more likely to
find it interesting and want to learn more about it. Research also shows
that those who have had firsthand experience of such information are
more likely to retain it in later life. Museums can then be an extremely
valuable source of creativity, particularly organizations such as art
galleries or photography exhibitions, as many people find they are
inspired and subsequently want to try such activities themselves.
Museums in the U.K are well organized and exhibitions well maintained
to ensure all products and displays are kept in the best possible state of
repair; this will make it possible for many generations to experience and
be inspired by them.

9. Botanical garden:
Botanical garden makes nature study effective which is an important
aspect of science teaching. A botanical garden provides materials for
classroom teaching and the laboratory work. At the same time, it
inculcates in the student interest and love for nature. Study of science will
be incomplete without a botanical garden where botany is studied in its
real perspective. Botanical garden provide an opportunity to the student
to know about the different varieties of plants. By seeing the nature and
beauty of the garden students are induced to take interest in nature and
taking care of the plants. In a botanical garden it is also possible to study
the effects of shade light, moisture, manure etc. on the life and
development of the plants. It is also possible to study the history of
several insects and creatures such as butterflies garden, hopper, etc.
Botanic gardens are also well-placed to raise awareness amongst the
general public of the need for, and benefits that can be derived from,
successful ecological restoration projects. The new Ecological
Restoration Alliance of Botanic Gardens will thus also address the need
for greater political commitment, awareness and participation in
restoration work.

10. CONCLUSION
Zoos, museums, botanical garden exit for the same purposes to
educate, inspire actions and to study, develop and manage collections.
Zoos and botanical gardens included in in-situ conservation. Both are
conservator endangered species. Museums, Zoos and botanical gardens
should encourage the students to better science teaching and learning.
