Natural Resources
Natural resources include a region's minerals, energy, land, water, forests, wildlife and biodiversity. They can be classified into renewable and non-renewable resources. Natural resources have to be conserved for their biological, economic, and intrinsic values, as well as for their natural beauty and long term benefits to human society.
