Conserving Natural Resources

 Conserving Resources

The population of humans has grown tremendously in this last two centuries. Billions of people take up resources rapidly as they consume food, build homes, make commodities, and consume fuel for transport and energy. Conserving resources is much more than just preserving Earth’s natural beauty. We must conserve our natural resources to ensure that we continue to live in our environment with respect. We must also conserve our natural resources to ensure that they are used responsibly and in a sustainable manner. If we do not use them wisely, then they will be depleted and will eventually become extinct.

There are many ways in which we can help in the conservation of nature. Here are some of those that can be easily done and can make a huge difference:

1)    Restrict Usage of Water

As we already know how precious water is and despite having a lot of it on our planet only a little part of it is available in naturally fresh and usable form. Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, limit the number of showers, use the waste RO water to water the plants or clean the house so as to ensure less wastage of water.

2)    Limit Usage of Electricity

Limiting the usage of electricity is also essential for the conservation of nature. Simple things such as turning off the electric appliances when they are not in use and switching to energy saving lights, such as LED lights, to save electricity can help us ensure betterment in this field.

3)    Plant Trees and Grow Vegetables

It is advised to plant as many trees as possible to make up for those that are cut each day. Also grow vegetables at home to lessen the usage of chemical fertilizers used in farming.

Besides these, people can do their little bit by limiting the usage of paper, taking up rain water harvesting system, decreasing usage of cars and last but not the least by spreading awareness about the conservation of nature and its resources.

Almost three-fourth of the earth is water. We should save water by keeping safe the water resources, preventing its wasteful overuse, and conserving or protecting the water environment from any harm BENEFITS OF WATER  Without water nothing can live .Both animals and plants need water to live .

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT  Land, water, air, plants and animals comprise the natural environment. Land, water, air, plants and animals respectively create domains on Earth namely, lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. Let us learn more about them.  Lithosphere is the solid crust or the hard top layer of the earth. It is made up of rocks and minerals and covered by a thin layer of soil. It is an irregular surface with various landforms such as mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, etc. Landforms are found over the continents and also on the ocean floors. Lithosphere is the domain that provides us forests, grasslands for grazing, land for agriculture and human settlements. It is also a source of mineral wealth. The domain of water is referred to as hydrosphere . It comprises various sources of water and different types of water bodies like rivers, lakes, seas, oceans, etc. It is essential for all living organisms. The atmosphere is the thin layer of air that surrounds the earth

Natural Vegetation and Wildlife

Image
 The type and thickness of natural vegetation varies from place to place because of the variation in these factors. Natural vegetation is generally classified in to three broad categories as follows: (a) Forests : Which grow where temperature and rainfall are plentiful to support a tree cover. Depending upon these factors, dense and open forests are grown. (b) Grasslands : Which grow in the region of moderate rain.  (c) Shrubs : Thorny shrubs and scrubs grow in the dry region. The changes in the type of natural vegetation occur mainly because of the changes of climatic condition. Let us get to know the different types of natural vegetation of the world with their characteristic features and wildlife inhabiting there.  Grasslands  Tropical Grasslands :  These occur on either side of the equator and extend till the tropics. This vegetation grows in the areas of moderate to low amount of rainfall. The grass can grow very tall, about 3 to 4 meters in height. Savannah grasslands of Africa a
