Abstract
Some exploitation of natural resources is an essential condition of the human existence. This refers primarily to food production and needs. The exploitation of nature is often done unsustainably and is of increasing concern as the depletion of natural resources from economic growth and population growth ultimately threatens human existence. Why resources are under pressure • Increase in sophistication of technology enabling natural resources to be extracted quickly and efficiently. For Example: In the past, it could take long hours just to cut down one tree only using saws. Due to increased technology, rates of deforestation have greatly increased • A rapidly increasing population. This leads to greater demand for natural resources Cultures of consumerism. Materialistic views lead to gold and diamonds mined and used for jewelry - something unnecessary for human life or advancement. Excessive demand often leads to conflicts due to intense competition. Organizations, such as Global Witness and the United Nations have documented the connections. Another reason maybe because of non - equitable distribution of resources.
