The proper management of natural resources using it wisely and judiciously so that it is available for the coming generations also. All these resources are maintained. 

The population is increasing, demand for these resources is also increasing but they are limited in nature. 

The management would prevent the exploitation of these resources and keep them available for future generations. 

Forest—Many industries like timber, wood bidi, tendu leaves etc are dependent on the trees in the forest. They keep cutting the trees for use. 

This need to be managed properly and checked that new plantation of trees take place, animals are not harmed and are preserved. 

Wildlife—All animals in the forest are disturbed due to the intervention of people into the forest. They are also killed for trade of skin, fur, tusk horn etc. If the animals in the forest are not managed and taken care of then they will be extinct which will disturb the ecological balance of the earth. 

Water Resources—The main water resources are rivers, lake, ponds, underground water. The sources of water are getting polluted and the underground water is also discharged, used and the level of water is declining. Hence the recharge of water under the ground by rain water harvesting is necessary.
