1 Assignments in Science Class X (Term II) 16 Management of Natural Resources 1. We can manage and conserve our natural resources as well as the environment through sustainable development. 2. Sustainable development means development which meets the needs of the present generation as well as of the future generation. 3. The objective of sustainable development is to maintain a healthy environment which is pollution free, so that human beings can live in harmony with nature. 4. To achieve sustainable development, the goal has to be minimised resource use. 5. Preservation refers to non-use, conservation attempts to minimise the use of a natural resource and restoration seeks to return a degraded resource to its original state. 6. The 3R s in sustainable development are reduce, recycle and reuse. 7. Reuse is in a way better than recycling because the energy used for recycling the resources is not used in case of reuse. 8. Forests are biodiversity hotspots. 9. Stakeholders are people living in or around forests. 10. The Chipko movement (Hug the tree movement) was a movement of the local IMPORTANT NOTES people to resist the deforestation attempt on the hill slopes. 11. A major law protecting endangered species globally is CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). 12. India has 581 protected areas, among them 89 are National Parks and 492 Wildlife Sanctuaries. 13. Project Tiger was initiated in 1973 and it was founded by the World Wide Fund for Nature. 14. The Narmada Bachao Andolan has been very active in its movement against the Sardar Sarovar Project in Gujarat. 15. Coliform bacteria act as water pollution indicators. 16. Fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum are termed non-renewable sources of energy. 17. Acid rain as well as global warming are the result of exploitation and misuse of natural resources. 18. Some important NGOs working in the field of environment are Kalpavriksh (New Delhi), World Wide Fund for Nature, Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), Mumbai, etc. I.
