I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Conservation of Natural Resources. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The reason behind the depletion of our resources is the failure to replenish the stocks of the resources that we use. Take for instance the cutting down of trees for timber or any other justifiable reason, much as this may not be wrong the problem arises when the trees are cut down but not replaced. Picture a scenario where if one tree is cut down then replaced by three young seedlings. The outcome is forested will never be empty fields and the issues of desertification will never arise. Conservation, therefore, can be achieved only through the sustainable utilization of resources and that is the only way to keep our resources available to us throughout (Li, 1996). The realization that we are the owners and benefactors of the resources available to us should give us a sense of responsibility with regards to utilizing and managing them. Dumping of waste material everywhere has a significant effect on natural resources such as the soil, water and even the life of animals in the soil. This affects the quality of life of human beings either directly or indirectly and despite the negligence, we are the ones who suffer in the long term. This is why I feel that owing ht environment and feeling responsible for the resources within the environment is key to helping us conserve the environment. Cutting down of trees, for instance, is a direct way to invite desertification and alteration of rainfall patterns. Appreciating this, therefore, help us take responsibility and work to conserve the environment. Natural resources are community resources and therefore owned communally. This means that the utilization and conservation of such resources is the responsibility of the community at large and not just a few individuals. As such the only way to achieve good results with regards to environmental conservation is&nbsp.to make it a community effort with each and every stakeholder having a unique and relevant role to play towards the conservation and sustainable resource utilization efforts.
