In the context of energy conservation, sustainable development and to deal with global issues like climate change; there is a great significance of conservation of natural resources. To achieve development exponentially, human has exploited the natural resources of the earth drastically. Resulting, today natural resources are not only on the verge of exhaustion rather we are observing adverse impacts of exploiting natural resources. Frequent Earthquakes, increasing temperature of the earth, and depletion of potable water are some major challenges that need to be addressed.
Finding solutions to the above global problems in overnight is impossible; rather a sophisticated, impactful, and mass awareness is needed to tackle such challenges. World Nature Conservation Day is observed annually on 28 July to create awareness about the need to preserve the environment and its natural resources.
