Reasons For Conserving And Protecting Natural Resources

By Dennis Brooks


Limitation in existing renewable materials and physical feature that existing naturally by themselves without man intervention in nature calls for careful utilization and managed use of them. Natural resources usage rate has to be controlled to be in proximity with their rate of formation by free existing nature forces. Failure to do this may result in catastrophic extinction and extreme challenges to generations of the future. The following are core motivations for participating in conserving and protecting natural resources.

To sustain fuel and energy production. Power is a necessity for supporting industry operations for economic growth. It is also required to power homesteads lived by humans. Coal, rivers, dams, wood, sunlight, crude oil, and natural gas provide the power and fuel necessary to facilitate human survival. They must be used responsibly to ensure continued supply of electric power and fuel for a long time.

Facilitating supply of clean and healthy water for use by living organisms. Live organisms require clean water that is free of contamination for purposes of efficient working of their cellular activities that encourage life. Forest are home to tributaries of many rivers and helps in clouds formation that eventually fall as rainfall. Trees act as wind barriers, preventing soil erosion that could otherwise pollute water.

For food supply maintenance for both humankind and animals of the wild. Animals feed on free growing vegetation that is found on the fertile soils on the earth surface. Humans plant, weed, tend and harvest crops in grounds that are fertile of simply slaughter and animal for the meat. Where there is no food, alternative supply must be sort or hunger-related loss of life cannot be stopped.

For purposes of employment creation. The existence of resources creates opportunities for self-employment. This eliminates excessive reliance of citizens to the government and reduces the rate of crime. Charcoal burning, mining, forest guards and conservation workers are just but a few of employment opportunities created by the presence of resources. Employment opportunities allow people to earn income to support them and their families.

Global warming and air pollution prevention. Cutting down trees and clearing fields to give room for farming practices leaves the land bare. This makes soil prone to erosion from wind leading to air pollution. Furthermore, plants recycle air by using carbon IV gas and releasing oxygen to the atmosphere. Also, when land is bare, the protective black that prevents harmful sun rays is destroyed causing the rise in atmospheric temperature.

Maintenance of destinations of interests to tourist. Tourists are exploitative in nature, and they are fascinated by the beauty and aesthetic value of the landscape. When they visit, trade relations and cultural heritage of involved communities are strengthened. Also, tourist activity results in vast economic and social development of an area. So as to earn foreign currency trough trade. Often, resources in a certain geographic location are used as raw materials for industrial production in another country. When this happens, trade agreements will have to be initiated between the countries involved.

They provide habitat for wild animals. Wild animals need large areas to live freely and thrive. The trees and forest are home to land-based animals while the seas and oceans provide habitat for marine life. The habitat provides the required environment to rear their young ones.
