The responsibility of man in
maintaining balance of an environment:
Starting from the producer up to the highest consumer there is a
proportion of number of different tropical level in the ecosystem. Here the
different processes of ecosystem are maintained nicely. It is called
environmental balance. The relation between the inorganic and organic elements
is very intimate in an ecosystem and the elements of an ecosystem maintain
balance with each other. But different types of natural disasters, e.g.
earthquake, tidal bore, draught etc. may destroy the balance. Besides these,
man misuse natural resources for their own comforts. This affects the natural
balance. For this reason there is a gulf of difference between the environment
of ancient time and the present time.
Human beings are now facing two problems. The first one is the excessive
population increase and food crisis. The second problem is the conservation of
natural environment. Conservation of nature is one of the main steps to
maintain the balance of the environment. In this way the components of environment
can be saved. Climate, Solar energy, minerals, soil, plants, wildlife etc. are
natural resources. Naturally very little of these resources decrease or being
misused and nature herself always balance these. But soil, fresh water, forest,
wildlife etc. are nature's perishable resources. Due to continuous use the
quantity of these resources are becoming less. The goal of conservation is not
to stop the use of these perishable resources and that is quite impossible. On
the basis of knowledge from ecology, fresh water, soil, forest and wildlife can
be conserved by definite plans. The main object of conservation is to use the
natural resources by well planning to stop all types of misuse and dispotic use
and in probable case revive the past condition.
