Project: Research and Learn: Natural Resource Conservation Project Overview
For this project, you will select a natural resource to study. Find out what threatens it. Are there any plans to protect this natural resource?

Instructions
Select a natural resource of your choice. Do some research to determine what factors threaten the resource. Then dentify what conservation plans or activities are in place, and then make at least three suggestions of what you could do to help in the conservation effort. This might be what you could do personally or within your community. If your community has some type of conservation program, you can describe it in detail in place of one of your suggestions.

Please make sure to include:

a description of your natural resource, where it is found, and what threats it faces;
a description of what conservation efforts, including government programs, are currently in place. You must find at least two. (Remember, we have gone over a number of agencies that regulate and assist in the natural resource industry; these are good sources for information on governmental conservation programs.); and
three suggestions on how you personally or within your community could participate in conservation efforts. These may be things you can do at home or in the community. If your community has a conservation program, you may describe it in place of one of the three suggestions you need to make.
Your paper should be ab at least 500 words. Please use size 12 font and double-spaced type. Make sure to cite your sources.

Question # 1
Long Text (essay)
Submit your project researching a threatened natural resource and the conservation plans in place to protect it. Be sure to include the following:

a description of your natural resource, where it is found, and what threats it faces;
a description of what conservation efforts, including government programs, are currently in place. You must find at least two; and
three suggestions on how you personally or within your community could participate in conservation efforts. These may be things you can do at home or in the community. If your community has a conservation program, you may describe it in place of one of the three suggestions you need to make.

here u go dont copy it exactly but heres a format u can go off of

Explanation:A. Overpopulation

This is probably the most significant, single threat that natural resources face. The world’s population is increasing at a very fast rate. In the USA, a baby is born every 8 seconds, and a person dies every 13 seconds The increase in population means there will be pressure on almost all natural resources. How?

Land Use:

With more mouths to feed and people to provide homes for, more land will need to be cultivated and developed for housing. More farming chemicals will be applied to increase food production. Many forests and vegetation lands will be converted into settlements for people, roads, and farms. These have repercussions on natural resources.

Forests:

Demand for wood (timber), food, roads, and forest products will be more. Therefore, people will use more forest resources than they can naturally recover.

Fishing:

The freshwater and seafood sector will face problems too as we will continue to depend heavily on them. Larger fishing companies are going deeper into the sea to catch fish in even larger quantities. Some of the fishing methods they use are not sustainable, thereby destroying many more fish and sea creatures in the process.

Need for more:

Human demand for a comfortable life means more items (communication, transport, education, entertainment, and recreation) will need to be produced. That means more industrial processes and more need for raw materials and natural resources.

B. Climate Change

The alteration in climate patterns as a result of excessive anthropogenic is hurting biodiversity and many other abiotic natural resources. Species that have acclimatized to their environments may perish, and others will have to move to more favorable conditions to survive.

C. Environmental Pollution

Land, water, and air pollution directly affect the health of the environments in which they occur. Pollution affects the chemical make-up of soils, rocks, lands, ocean water, freshwater and underground water, and other natural phenomena. It often has catastrophic consequences.

Even though natural resources are the support structures of life, too much or too little of it can come with a lot of trouble and conflict.

Too little natural resources:

In many regions of the world, a mix of limited resources, overpopulation, and environmental degradation has produced extreme poverty and income inequality. That, in turn, has fuelled grievances, rebellion, and conflict in society.

Too much natural resources:

This problem is even more in regions with excess natural resources. Greed, corruption, and conflict from revenue distribution, resource ownership, decision making, management, and access have fuelled local and international conflict.

For example, in Papua New Guinea, The Panguna Copper Mine, once the largest open-pit mine in the world, was the center of violent conflict. Developed in the 1960s, locals were angry about the unfair salaries between local and foreign workers. They were also angry that the government did not give the community a fair share of revenues from the mine. They also had problems with foreign firms exploiting community resources. This conflict continued even after the mine was closed.

Conflict does not occur only in local communities. Third parties (including advanced nations) also have an extreme interest in wealth from natural resources in other regions. That often results in tensions between regions and countries, as well as foster or engage in civil conflicts.

For example, the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), was partly fostered by neighboring states seeking raw materials. It is also believed that the actions of a French Oil Corporation (Elf) escalated the conflict in DRC.

What kind of natural resources are in your country, and do you think some nations are interfering with your country’s resources? What can your leaders do to ensure that there is no conflict from this scenario?

answer; /// the best answer to the above question is (plants);

it depends on the situation, but in a definitional sense, irrendentism is more valid.
