(ii)As resources are vital for any developmental activity, resource conservation at various levels is important to overcome these problems.

We need to conserve our Natural Resources because it is the main source of our daily needs. We need to conserve it because they are limited only. And if these resources are abused and harmed, we will have short quantity of sources for food and living. At the same time, we can also be harmed. Because when illegal loggers log the trees endlessly in mountains, the rain that falls on mountain will not be absorbed by the trees, then it can cause mudslides that can affect those who lives on mountainside. Population explosion in last few decades has put a lot of pressure on our Natural Resources and this has led to over exploitation. Sustainable living is a very important idea and should be the basis of our living standards. We need to stop all kind of wastage. We need to understand that our Natural Resources are limited and over exploitation will harm not only us but the coming generation more. Remember our future generation will need also our Natural Resources. We can also help conserve it by simply using our materials wisely and do not waste it. There are simple ways to help in conserving our natural resources. These are the “3R Concept” 3R means “REDUCE”, “REUSE” and “RECYCLE”. Example in papers, our used papers will reuse by recycling it and turn it into a new paper product. By means of that we can reduce the number of trees that will cutted-down just for our new paper products. So to reuse materials is to recycle it so that the amount of materials that comes from our Natural Resources will reduce. And now we can say that we conserve our Natural Resources.
