Management of natural resources involves controlling their use to avoid wastage and using resources effectively and sustainably to meet current and future human needs. Proper management ensures equitable distribution of limited resources and considers long-term perspectives over short-term exploitation. Forest and wildlife management aims to conserve biodiversity and protect resources through efforts like those of the Bishnoi community and Chipko movement as well as participation of local communities. Conservation of wildlife addresses threats like poaching by establishing protected areas and restricting hunting of endangered species. Meeting growing water demands challenges requires management through infrastructure like dams for irrigation, hydropower and flood control while reducing coal and petroleum consumption helps preserve finite reserves.

2. Management Of Natural Resources
Anything in the environment which can
be used is called a natural resource . A
system of controlling the use of natural
resources in such a way as to avoid their
wastage and to use them in the most
effective way , is called management of
natural resources. The development
which meets the current basis human
needs and also preserve the resources
for the needs of future generations , is
called sustainable development
MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL
RESOURCES

3. The resources on earth are limited . The
proper management of natural resources
takes into consideration long term
prospective and prevents their exploitation
to hilt for short term goals . The proper
management can ensure equitable
distribution of natural resources so that all
the people can benefit from the
development from these resources
WHY DO WE NEED TO MANAGE
OUR RESOURCES ?

4. FOREST AND WILDLIFE:

5. FOREST AND WILDLIFE:
A large area of land on which trees and other
plants grow naturally is called a forest . And the
wild animals and birds which live in the forest,
are called wildlife

6. One of the main aim of the management of forest and
wildlife is to conserve the biodiversity which we have
inherited .
A person with an interest in something is called a
stakeholder. Four stakeholder of forest are:
 The person who live in and around forest
 The forest department
 The industrialists
 The forest and wildlife activists
THE AIM OF THE MANAGEMENT OF FOREST
AND WILDLIFE

7. Advantages of forest Large quantity of raw materials .
It provides area for wildlife .
It maintains a perfect water cycle.
It prevents soil erosion.
It prevents flood
ADVANTAGES OF FOREST:

8. Efforts made to protect forest The case of
khejri trees There is a B ishnoi community
in Rajasthan for whom conservation of
forest and wildlife has been a religious
belief. In 1973, A mrita D evi B ishnoi led a
group of 363 person who sacrificed their
lives for the protection of khejri trees in
khejrali village near Jodhpur in Rajasthan
EFFORTS MADE TO PROTECT
FOREST

9. The Chipko Andolan The Chipko Andolan originated
from an incident in a remote village called Reni in
Garhwal , high up in the Himalayas in the early 1970s. A
logging contractor had been allowed to cut down trees
in a forest close to a village. Women of the village
reached the forest quickly and clasped the tree trunks
with their arms preventing the workers from cutting
down the trees. The forest trees were thus saved
THE CHIPKO ANDOLAN:

10. Participation of local people in the
management of forest Peoples participation in
the management of forest can help in
increasing forest produce as well as in their
conservation . In return for help in forest , the
villagers were given employment in both
silviculture and harvesting in forest , 25% of
the final harvest produce , and were allowed
to collect firewood and fodder from the forest
area on a nominal payment
PARTICIPATION OF LOCAL PEOPLE
IN THE MANAGEMENT OF FOREST

12. CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE

13. The large scale poaching of wild animals
residing in the forests by man is a serious
threat to the survival of many animal and bird
species. This also disturbs the food chains in
which these animals occur resulting in
undesirable consequences for the whole
ecosystem . Use of leather should not be
preferred .
THE CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE

14.  Measures to be taken for the conservation
of wildlife Laws should be made to impose a
total ban on poaching of any animal or bird
belonging to an endangered species .
 Indiscriminate killing of animals in
abundance should not be allowed.
 National Parks and Sanctuaries should
be established
MEASURES TO BE TAKEN FOR THE
CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE

16. WATER FOR ALL:

17. Water is the basic necessity for all forms
of life , human beings, other animals as
well as plants. The regions having good
availability of water are flourishing
because they have good crops but the
regions having shortage of water are in
the thick of poverty because of poor crop
growth .
WATER FOR ALL

18.  Our population is increasing rapidly.
Only a little rain water seeps in the ground
and gets stored as ground water.
 HYV crops require much more water .
 Discharge of untreated sewage industrial
wastes into rivers
WE ARE NOT ABLE TO MEET THE
DEMANDS FOR WATER OF ALL THE
PEOPLE BECAUSE

19. DAM

20. In order to make proper use of river water, dams are
constructed across the rivers to regulate the flow of water . In
our country dams have built across the many rivers . Bhakra
dam is one such dam which has been built across Satluj
DAMS
DAMS ARE USEFUL BECAUSE:
•Water in dams is used for irrigation .
•It is used for generating electricity.
•These are used for controlling floods.
•These are used for supplying water in cities

22. Coal and petroleum Coal and petroleum are
fuels . All the energy of our basic needs and
the for the manufacturing of goods are mostly
met by coal and petroleum reserves . We
have been using coal and petroleum that they
are likely to get exhausted in the near future.
It is predicted that the petroleum reserves and
the coal reserves will last 40 years and 200
years respectively
COAL AND PETROLEUM

23.  Switch off electrical appliances when not needed
STEPS TO REDUCE CONSUMPTION
OF COAL AND PETROLEUM

24.  use cfl‘s use stairs to climb at
least up to three floors

25. THE THREE R’S TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT

26. REDUCE :
Reduce It means that we use less of
the natural resources by cutting on
those practices which lead to their
wastage .
RECYCLE :
Recycle It means that we should
collect the used and discarded items
of paper , plastic , glass and metals ,
and send them to the respective
industries for making fresh paper ,
plastic , glass or metal objects .
REUSE :
Reuse Reuse means that , if possible
we should use the same things again
