Produktbeschreibung
Natural resources are material components of the earth s surface that are used by human beings to sustain their livelihoods. The world s population is growing thus exerting increasing pressure on natural resources.Such a scenario demands and dectates that responsible natural resource management paradigms replace old ones if we are to engender development with equity.We did not inherit the earth from our ancestors , rather we borrowed it from future generations.We should bequeath a good environment to future generations. The earth has enough resources for everyone s needs but not everyone s greed.There must be some re-thinking and harmonisation of the manner in which we utilise natural resources because the earth s resources are finite and yet essential for all life. The book examines how natural resources should be used and managed for sustainable development. Resources are a shared ownership, a collective trusteeship requiring caring beyond individualstewardship.Environmental problems demonstrate that the capacity of natural resources is inelastic and demand planned natural resource use if future generations are to live a better quality life with the same resources.
