The demand for all resources is increasing at an exponential rate. The management of natural resources require a long term perspective so that this will last for the generations to come and will not merely be exploited to the hilt for short term gains.<\/p>\n<p>Question 3.<br \/>\nHow would these advantages different from the advantages of using a long perspective in managing our resources?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nInitially when human population was small and level of technological development was also low, the extent to which humans could interface with the environment was limited. They lived with harmony in nature. But with the growing population, the need, have grown. Human by virtue of their mental capabilities exploited for the short term gains.<\/p>\n<p>Question 4.<br \/>\nWhy do you think there should be equitable distribution of resources? What forces would be working against an equitable distribution of our resources.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nWeather growing population, the needs of human beings have grown. Human started the exploitation of resources to meet their requirements without caring for management of resources. If there is you could table distribution of the resources among the human they will take care of the resources and utilized them carefully. So resources can be preserved for a long time, and coming generation will not be based energy crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Some rich and powerful people are working against an equitable distribution of resources.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcq-questions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/NCERT-Solutions-Guru.png?resize=170%2C17&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 16 Management of Natural Resources\" width=\"170\" height=\"17\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">In-text Questions (Page 273)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Question 1.<br \/>\nWhy should we conserve forest and wildlife?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nForest or the place where diversity of plants and universities found. In other words biodiversity hotspots. As we know that all the biotic components are independent on each other as well as on the abiotic components. Loss of biodiversity or species may therefore lead to ecological instability. We will know the significance of protecting our buyer diversity. The plant and animal provide product useful to us. No life is possible without the plants. Under sources of food, fiber, timber, paper, sports equipments, medicines, oil, dies, rubber.
