Conserving natural resources
- Protecting natural resources
Description
Conserving natural resources involves implementing practical measures to reduce waste, promote sustainable use, and protect ecosystems from depletion and degradation. This strategy focuses on efficient resource management, restoration of damaged environments, and adoption of renewable alternatives to address overconsumption, pollution, and habitat loss. By prioritizing conservation, societies can ensure long-term availability of essential materials, maintain ecological balance, and mitigate the adverse impacts of human activity on the planet’s natural systems.
Implementation
The Radd voor Milieu en Natuur (RMNO - Dutch Council for Environmental and Nature Research) has proposed that reserves of primary raw materials may be used only to a rate of 1% per year. This means they will never be exhausted.
