Conservation of Natural Resources ES 24| ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING  CONCEPT OF NATURAL RESOURCES WHAT IS A RESOURCE? Resource is any factor which can be used to satisfy human wants (any source of raw materials). A resource can be viewed in terms of material (raw material’s, land) or in abstract terms (Human Knowledge, attributes of labors) In general, resources depend on important attached to it. If man does not make use of something, that thing is not a resource.

This would retard economic development and adversely affect man survival of earth. There is therefore need for efficient management of natural resources to maintain their continued availability and improvement in man’s living standard. Resource management is however a complex issue because of numerous political, economical, social and cultural factors surrounding their ownership and use.

An renewable example is carbon-based fossil fuels. The original organic matter, with the aid of Resources heat and pressure, becomes a fuel such as oil or gas.
