Summary Introduction

To write:

About the change that can occur in the world after using sustainable-use plan for natural resources.

Introduction:

The biosphere provides the essential needs in the form of natural resources for over six billion people. The need for natural resources to supply the basic needs of the population is growing due to the rise in the human population growth. Developing countries are becoming more developed, and living standards are growing, and the rate of consumption of natural resources is also rising. A long-term strategy for the use and conservation of natural resources is necessary because of the increasing human population growth and an increased rate of natural resource consumption.

Explanation of Solution

Sustainable use means using resources at a rate in which they can be replaced or recycled while preserving the long-term environmental health of the biosphere. Conservation of resources includes reducing the amount of resources that are consumed, recycling resources that can be recycled, and preserving ecosystems, as well as using them in a responsible manner. Thus, the sustainable-use plan will help preserve future generation resources and also help preserve biodiversity through the provision of sustainable use of natural resources.

Conclusion

Conservation of natural resources is important because of the increasing human consumption of natural resources. Due to which biodiversity often get lost so many efforts has been put to stop the loss of biodiversity and to move for sustainable use of natural resources.
