Natural resources, broadly defined as all elements provided by nature, are critical to the economic development of any nation. These resources are categorized into two types: renewable resources, which can naturally replenish, and non-renewable resources, which exist in a finite quantity and cannot be regenerated. With the continuous growth of the global population, the consumption of natural resources has surged, leading to their rapid depletion. Factors such as urbanization, overpopulation, and excessive consumption have exacerbated this problem, making conservation efforts increasingly vital. Conservation involves the proper management of natural resources to prevent their exploitation, destruction, or degradation. The Government of India has implemented several measures to conserve these invaluable resources. This paper explores the types of natural resources, the challenges of resource depletion, and the strategies employed by various stakeholders to ensure sustainable use and conservation.
