• Name-Nilakshi Roy P. G 3rd semester Roll no. -08 Department of Botany
INTRODUCTION~~ ❖NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (NRM) REFERS TO THE SUSTAINABLE UTILIZATION OF MAJOR NATURAL RESOURCES, SUCH AS LAND,WATER, AIR, MINERALS, FORESTS, FISHERIES, AND WILD FLORA AND FAUNA.
❖In our surroundings,so many species are there which require a need to protect them as well as to conserve the environment.
Treaties and Conventions for the improvement and protection of the environment~~~ •Vienna Convention for the Protection of the ozone Layer 1985. •Berne Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and natural habitats, 1982.
❖Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, 1975(CITES). ❖Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air pollution,1983 (CLRTAP). ❖Convention on the Conservation of Migratory species of Wild Animals, 1983 (CMS).
INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS~~ ➢ In mid 1960s some scientists were sounding warning about the possibility of climate change due to increase CO2 levels in the atmosphere resulting from burning of fossil fuels. ➢ In the United State of America, this climate of thought and innovative legislators produced a law that represented a landmark in environmental management not only in U. S but also worldwide- the National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA) 1969. ➢ NEPA- agency planning and decision making and integrated interdisciplinaryuse of the natural and social service and the environmental design art.
➢In the decade of 1970s many government introduced environmental legislation, established agencies with environmental responsibilities. ➢By 1980, the handling and disposal of hazardous waste was recognized as a national and global issue. Through the 1970s and 1980s, the growth of chemical manufacturing in developing countries exceeded that of the developed World. ➢In 1970s and 1980s air pollution, burning of fossil fuels, SO2 and CO2 growth an emissions was major field of concern. ➢In 1980 the World conservation strategy, published by the World Conservation Union(IUCN), the UNEP and the World Wide Fund for nature(WWF).
FUTURE PROSPECTS v At this point the Kyoto protocol had been ratified by 151 states and the European community. To enter in to force, it needed 55% of the states whose aggregate CO2 emissions for 1990 amount to 55% of total emissions. Since emissions from Russia and the United States are such large proportion of the total, in practice this needed at least one of them to ratified, which Russia did in 2004.The Protocol then entered in force in 2005,without USA, the protocol’s effectiveness will be that much less, though it's approach remains controversial.
CONCLUSION~ Environmental degradation which is getting worse day-by-day due to the ignorance of the people towards the environment. Many government organisations, NGOs etc. have taken initiative to protect the environment but it can only be protected when the people with the understanding and enthusiasm protect and conserve the environment.
THANK YOU
