Natural resources occur naturally and include materials like rocks, minerals, soil, plants, and animals. They satisfy human needs and have economic, legal, and aesthetic value. Resources can be biotic (living) or abiotic (non-living), and renewable or non-renewable. Human development and exploitation of natural resources threatens biodiversity through habitat destruction, agriculture expansion, and pollution from industry. Better protection, enforcement of laws, and community participation are needed to conserve natural resources.
Natural resources conservation is a process of rational use and skillful management and preservation of the natural environment with all its resources. Natural resources are finite, limited, and capable of being destroyed by unsustainable use and this can be a limiting factor on sustainable development.
Natural resources are materials and components (something that can be used) that can be found within the environment. Every man-made product is composed of natural resources (at its fundamental level). A natural resource may exist as a separate entity such as fresh water, and air, as well as a living organism such as a fish, or it may exist in an alternate form which must be processed to obtain the resource such as metal ores, oil, and most forms of energy.
Human life requires air, food, water and other materials for shelter, transport and varieties of socio-economic and life-support activities. Most of the required materials are available in raw or convertible forms on earth. These are the natural resources of the planet earth. This module give the basics of earth's natural resources.
Natural resources are on the verge of depletion and should be conserved for the future. Lets have a look in detail about the hazards of the depleting natural resources and also how to conserve them.

The multidisciplinary nature of environmental studies and natural resources Maitry Agrawal
The multidisciplinary nature of environmental studies and natural resources presentation will help you in knowing the actual meaning of environmental studies and it's scope and importance in layman's language. we will be also discussing about natural resources, types, individual's role in conservation of natural resources and sustainability.
Resources are defined as matter, space and time utilized for the wellbeing of mankind is called as resources. The natural resources are materials, which living organisms can take from nature for sustaining their life or any components of the natural environment that can be utilized by man to promote his welfare is considered to be natural resources.
This is very basic presentation on Natural Resources.
It contains->

3. •Natural resources occur naturally within environments
•Natural resource is often characterized by amounts of
biodiversity and geo diversity existent in various ecosystems.
•Any material which is part of earth and satisfy human
need and add value is called as resource. Example:
rocks, minerals, soil, rivers, plants & animal.
•Human is a resource because developing his skill, he
can develop other resource by adding value to the
physical material .
