Question
What do you mean by conservation of natural resources.
✓
Answer
Natural resources are depleting at a faster rate than ever due to overpopulation and selfish attitude of human beings having a short$-$sighted approach to life. Human beings have overused the natural resources without thinking of its impact on their own life over a period of time. But it is never too late. Even now if these resources are wisely used, they can continue to contribute to human welfare for all times to come.
The wise and careful use of natural resources is called conservation. Literally it means ‘to save’. Conservation includes not only wise use of resources but also maintaining their quality. Some of our natural resources and their conservation methods are discussed here. At many places, rich top soil is lost or is carried away either by wind or water. This process is called soil erosion.
