English, asked by bineetsingh410, 1 month ago

The concept of sustainable development was popularized in 1987 by  the World Commission on Environment and Development. In its  report, it defined the idea as “Development that meets the needs of the  present, without compromising the ability of future generations to  meet their needs,” i.e., without stripping the natural world of  resources future generations would need.  In the zoo at Lusaka, Zambia, there is a cage where the notice reads,  ‘The world’s most dangerous animal’. Inside the cage, there is no  animal but a mirror where you see yourself. Thanks to the efforts of a  number of agencies in different countries, a new awareness has now  dawned upon the most dangerous animal in the world. He has  realized the wisdom of shifting from a system based on domination to  one based on partnership.  Scientists have catalogued about 1.4 million living species with which  mankind shares the earth. Estimates vary widely as regards the still- uncatalogued living species – biologists reckon that about three to a  hundred million other living species still languish unnamed in  ignominious darkness.  One of the early international commissions which dealt, inter alia,  with the question of ecology and environment was the Brandt  Commission which had a distinguished Indian as one of its members –  Mr. L.K. Jha. The first Brandt Report raised the question – “Are we to  leave our successors a scorched planet of advancing deserts,  impoverished landscapes and ailing environment?”
