Problems of natural resources management and remedial measures

The major problems of natural resources management and remedial measure are as follows :

1. Absence of property rights :The absence of well-defined property right to a resources almost inevitably result in its degradation.The lack of property rights result in overgrazing,soil degradation,and over fishing.There should be property rights in the consumption of natural resources.The property rights create incentives for the people to use the resources in a sustainable way.Large-scale land redistribution provides each household a sufficiently large entitlement to the resources to ensure a viable future.
2. Lack of legal provision :Lack of adequate legal provisions cause too much pollution.In urban areas, the general public is compelled to consume polluted air due to vehicle owners.It is having negative effects on health.Hence,personal vehicle may be discouraged by economic and legal policies or the general people may be compensated.
3. Absence of resources management plan :Due to the importance given to intensive agriculture and mono-cropping system in past,the fertility of land is decreasing.It is also affecting bio-diversity.Hence,there should be proper land use plan or there should be proper resources management plan.
4. Use of traditional skill and technology :The use of the traditional skill,knowledge and technology leads to the too much use of natural resources.Hence,the traditional skill,knowledge and technology should be modified.The growing use of science and technology has changed the consumption pattern.The society is becoming consumption oriented.Hence,the emphasis should be placed on the technology using less resources and routinising and recycling technology.
5. Widespread property :The basic challenge of resource preservation is the widespread property and unfulfilled needs of the people.This leads to the overuse of resources.Hence,the programs should be people-based.There should be increasing people's participation in resources management.
6. Lack on consistency between the economics,social and natural human resources :The economic,social and natural and human resources are interrelated.Hence,efforts should be made to bring consistency between them.The technique minimising adverse effects on environment should be adopted in formulation and environment should be taken as inseparable and interdependent components.
7. lack of typing environmental plan and management :There is interrelationship between environment and human being.Hence,different activities and developmental efforts should be carried forward by maintaining environmental balance.For this,environment plan and management should be tied together in the very initial phase of development plan.
8. Rapid pollution growth :Rapid pollution growth directly contributes to environmental degradation.Pollution growth may break down social norms that support efficient resources manage mental degradation.Hence,attempt has to made to control pollution growth.
9. Lack of access to credit markets leads to environmental degradation.The organised credit markets for rural household should be established.This may change the behavior of households that contribute to environmental degradation.The access to credit markets will induce them to change their behavior.Credit markets will allow them to smooth their consumption over time.
