    • Preserving resources: Includes preserving biodiversity, minimizing use of non-renewable resources, and protecting ecosystems.
    • Ecosystem foundation: Biodiversity is the foundation of ecosystem health.
    • Resource Sustainability Examples: Solar energy is an example of resource sustainability.
    • Deforestation Impact: Deforestation leads to habitat loss, biodiversity loss, and climate change.
    • Desertification: The process of turning fertile land into barren land.

    Sustainable Development

    • Concept: Meeting the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
    • Renewable Energy Goals: Developing and utilizing renewable energy sources reduces reliance on fossil fuels and minimizes climate change effects.
    • Sustainable Agricultural Practices: Organic farming techniques, crop rotation, and avoiding large-scale pesticide use are sustainable agricultural practices.
    • Environmental Protection Goal: Sustainable development aims to preserve and protect ecosystems for the continuity and balance of life.
