Anything in the environment which can be used is called a natural resource. Natural Resources includes total natural environment that support human life and contribute to the production of necessities and comforts to mankind. On the basis of abundance and availability, natural resources can be divided into inexhaustible and exhaustible resources. 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. We need to manage our natural resources since the resources of the earth are limited. Because of the rapid increase in human population, the demand for resources is increasing day-by-day. The proper management can ensure that the natural resources are used judiciously, so that they fulfil the needs of present generation and also last for the generations to come. The proper management of natural resources takes into consideration long-term perspective and prevents their exploitation to hilt for short-term gains. It can also ensure equitable distribution of natural resources so that all the people can benefit from the development of these resources.
