This document summarizes the key concepts around the management of natural resources. It discusses sustainable development as meeting current human needs while preserving resources for future generations. Natural resource management is important to prevent overexploitation, consider environmental impacts, and ensure all people can benefit. The document then covers specific natural resources like forests, wildlife, water, and fossil fuels. It provides examples of different stakeholders and their roles. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of conservation and provides some steps individuals can take to reduce their impact.

1. MANAGEMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
Made By:
Blue Group

2. Intro…
Natural Resource
Controlling the use
of
Anything in
environment
So that
They do not get wasted
and use them in a
effective way
MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL
RESOURCES…
‘Which can be
utilized or used”

3. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Development
Meeting the current
human needs and
also preserves
Future generation
SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT

4. Why to manage our resources…?
Preventing from
exploitation for short term
gains
The resources on the Earth are
limited
Why do we need to manage
nature
Considering the damage caused to the
environment while cutting forest trees
for various purposes, the damage to the
environment can be minimized by
planting new saplings
All people can benefit from the
development of the resources

5. A large area of land on which
trees and other plants grow
naturally is called a forest.

6. WILDLIFE
The wild animals and birds which live
in forest are called wildlife.

7. The local people or the
forest tribal
The industrialists
Stakeholders
The forest department
The forest and wildlife activists

8. Most
depended
people on
forest.
Use resources in such a
way that much damage
is not done to the
environment
Collect
fodder and
graze their
forest
The people or tribes
Bamboo ,gather
fruits, nuts and
medicinal herbs
They usually
lop the
branches of
the trees and
pluck their
leaves but do
not cut the
whole tree

9. Cut down forest trees for
timber for furniture
Destroy large amount of
biodiversity due to their
needs
Due to which
they
The forest
department
Forests are cleared of
all vegetation in a large
scale
Such as pine , teak and
eucalyptus
The development projects like
•Building roads
•Construction of dams
To plant trees for timber

10. Have major vested in
forest resources.
Forests are the source
of raw material for
their industry
Most of the deforestation
is caused by industrial
needs.
The industrialists go their
way…
Some industries based on forest produce:
•Timber Industry
•Paper mills
•Lac industry
•Sports equipment industry

11. There are certain people
who are not dependent on
forest in any way but who
wants forests to be
conserved to prevent undue
damage to the environment
The chipko
andolan
Bishnoi
community in
Rajasthan
Led by Amrita
Devi Bishnoi
Two instances showing bravery
and love for forest by the local
people nearby forest
Reni in Garhwal,
High up in the
Himalayas in the
early 1970’s
A logging contractor
had been allowed to
cut down the trees in
a forest close near
village.
A group of
363 people
sacrificed their
lives
The villagers reached
forest quickly and
clasped the tree trunk
with their arms
preventing the workers
cutting the trees. Thus
the trees were saved.
Protected the
Khejri Trees in
Kejrali Village
near Jodhpur
The govt. has recently
instituted an ‘Amrita Devi
Bishnoi National Award For
Wildlife Conservation’ in
memory of Amrita Devi
Bishnoi

12. Produces a large quantity of raw
material for industrial purposes
Increases the area
of Earth under
forests
Maintains perfect water
cycle in nature
Prevents soil erosion
Silviculture and it’s
advantages
Prevents floods
Silviculture is the practice of
controlling the establishment,
growth, composition, health, and
quality of forests to meet diverse
needs and values.

13. Various sources of water are :
•Rains
•Ponds and lakes
•Rains
•Oceans
•Glaciers (Snow Mountains)
WATER FOR ALL
Rains are the most
important source of
water
Water: Basic need for
all forms of life ;
Humans, animals and
plants as well.

14. Lack of sufficient
vegetation cover on
ground
Population is increasing rapidly
Despite good rains, we are
not able to meet the
demand of water for all the
people because
High yielding varieties of
crops require much
more water for irrigation
Discharge of
untreated sewage
and industrial
wastes into rivers
and lakes
Changing of life
style

15. Management of river water is
done by constructing DAMS
on rivers
Pros
Water
from dam
is used for
irrigation
in field
through
network of
canals
The falling
water from
dam is used
for
generating
electricity
Water is
supplied to the
people in town
and cities
through
pipelines after
sustainable
treatment
Economical
Very costly
to
construct
Cons
Social
Large numbers of
villages are submerged
undewater
Environmental
Deforestation

16. Rainwater harvesting

17. Some of the ancient water harvesting structure used in India:
Regions
ancient waterharvasting
structure
•Rajasthan
•Maharashtra
•MP and UP
•Bihar
•Himachal Pradesh
•Jammu Region
•Tamil Nadu
•Kerala
•Karnataka
Khadin, Tanks, Nadias
Bandharas , Tals
Bhundhis
Ahars and Pynes
Kulhs
Ponds
Eris
Sunranghams
Kattas

18. fossil fuels
Coal may last for
200 years
formed by the
decomposition of
dead plants and
animals
When burnt, they
release CO2 and oxides
of N and S
contain carbon,
hydrogen, nitrogen
and sulphur.
Carbon dioxide CO2
is a green house gas
which causes global
warming.
Oxides of nitrogen,
Sulphur and
produces acid rain.
Petroleum may last
for 40 years

19. Use CFL bulbs instead of
the normal ones
Switch off light and fan when
not in use
Steps to reduce the
use of fossil fuels
Use bicycles, Public
Transports or fuel
efficient vehicles to
travel

21. The Three R’s to save the
environment :-
Reduce
using less of
natural
resources and
avoiding
wastage of
natural
resources.
Recycle
Non
biodegradable
material can be
recycled for
making new
things
Reuse
using things again
and again so that
less waste is
produced

22. I was like this
before
Please save me
Let me be happy and then
only I can keep you happy
So please Act sensible and
wisely
May the coming generation
might understand me
-Mr. Earth
And this is my
condition now…

23. So friends Lets save our earth and keep it beautiful for the coming
generations …. So that they can enjoy what we had….
