ROLE OF AN INDIVIDUAL IN CONSERVATION
OF NATURAL RESOURCES
NATURAL RESOURCES
A natural resource can be defined
as any component of the natural
environment that can be utilised by
man to sustain his life and promote
his welfare
Role of an individual in conservation of natural resourses
Some resources such as
air,water,food,and land are important
because with out them life can not be
sustained.
They are called as life supporting systems
Other resources fulfil our needs
But the amount of natural resources per
year began decreasing
Rapid rate of consumption may lead to
complete depletion or loss of natural
resources
REASONS FOR RAPID RATE OF
CONSUMPTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1.POPULATION INCREASE
•About 80 million people are added every year to the
worlds population
•Global population may double every 30 years or so
•This exponential growth of human population is causing a
grate pressure on our resources and resulting a steady
impoverishment of biological systems
2.INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Fundamental change in mans relationship with
the nature began with scientific and industrial
revolution
Growth and development through science,
technology and industrial expansion
This marked the beginning of the exponential
rate of consumption of natural resources
OUR IMPROPERRESOURCE UTILISATION
IS LEADING US TO GREAT DISASTERS
1.INDIVIDUALS ROLE IN
WATER ECONOMY
The measures to conserve
water resources include
Not keeping water taps
running
Check water leak and
repair
Adopt minimum water
use patterns
 installing water saving
toilets that use optimum
water per flush
Adopting rain water harvesting devices in your
house to conserve water for future use
Collect waste water in your home and use it for
watering kitchen garden
Filling water in washing machine to the level
required for the cloths to be washed
Watering lawn and kitchen garden plants in the

world water day
Observe February 2
as world wetland day
Join youth water
team or any such NGO
engaged in water
conservation
2.INDIVIDUALS ROLE IN FOREST
CONSERVATION
The measures to conserve forests ,save trees, and
planting new trees include-
Not felling the trees in forests ,farms,roads,or houses

mountains being a
souses of fresh water
•Encourage ‘adopt a
tree programme’ ie,
‘each one tree one’
•Observe march 21 as
forest day
•Discourage using paper
for correspondence and
promote use of paper
3.INDIVIDUALS ROLE IN
CONSERVATION OF MINERALS
Some of the measures to conserve minerals are
•Minimise the use of minerals which are likely to
be depleted or exhausted
•Minimise use of jewellery to conserve scarce
minerals
•Recycle and reuse minerals and glasses
•Buy durable products that lasts long
•Buy efficient vehicles
•Repair and reuse bicycles
•Use recyclable utensils
4.INDIVIDUALS ROLE
IN FOOD SECURITY
Some of the measures to
achieve food security are
Sustainable use of food and
not wasting it
Eating only as much as
required for sustenance of life

as to save energy on their
transportation, storage and
preservation

world food day and
November 21 as world
fishery day
5.INDIVIDUALS ROLE IN
ENERGY CONSERVATION
AND SAVING ENERGY
Some of the measures are
Turning off lights ,fans, or
other electric appliances when

CFLs and LED s
Construct buildings in such a
way that maximum amount of
sunlight can be obtained

figure
Minimise use of automobiles by using

Keeping vehicles tuned for low
consumption of fuel
Checking fuel consumption data while
buying a new vehicle
Following the advice given by petroleum
conservation research association
Wearing adequate woollen clothes during winter
instead of using heat convector
Growing deciduous trees at proper place out side
the house. they will cut off intense heat during the
summers ,cut off electricity consumption and will
provide a cool breeze
Observe December 14 as world energy conservation
day
6. INDIVIDUALS ROLE IN SUSTAINABLE
AGRICULTURE AND SOIL PROTECTION
Some of the measures are
Reducing use of chemicals
such as fertilizers and
pesticides to check soil
pollution
Using bio fertilizers
Using biological control
measures for pest control
Avoid over irrigation
without proper irrigation to
prevent water logging
Discouraging monoculture
practise in agriculture
Adopting mix cropping
Adopting drip irrigation to avoid
washing out soil nutrients
Observing December 23 as
