Our life relies on natural resources. Natural Resources are the kind of materials, water and energy, land available to us on earth, which is the basis of all living beings on our planet. We humans are part of the character. Natural Resources provide fundamental life support in the variety of both consumptive goods and public services. Ecological process maintains soil productivity, nutrient recycling, the cleansing air and water and climatic cycle. People at large are among the innumerable species inhabiting the world who like other species, live by developing a relationship with their environment comprising both living organisms and non-living substances. All living organisms depend on some a part of external world to produce them with the means to hold on living-to breathe, to require nutrition so on. All organisms during this sense, rely on resources outside themselves, and human beings are no exception to the current rule. However, unlike other species the connection between man and nature has vastly changed over time due to the event of human consciousness represented by science, technology, values and cultures. With the assistance of science and technology human being have transformed the resources of nature in to products in step with their value system for consumption and betterment of their well-being. We use a good range of external natural resources to keep up life and to preserve our societies. Such natural resources are importantly categorized into renewable and nonrenewable resources. The depletion of natural resources because of over population, in efficiency in resource utilization, over consumption, poverty and other socio-economic problems, ineffective structures including norms and institutions and certain other factors like frontier mortality and company greed have threatened the human survival on the earth earth. The consequence of over exploitation of natural resources like deforestation for agriculture, commercial logging, mining, human settlement, and because of urbanization and industrialization contributed to the degradation of human environment. Other than the above construction of dams, forest fires and over grazing contributed to the deforestation.
