Sustainable management

A ppt for project or to study sustainable management in short.

1. Sustainable Management of Natural Resources

2. "Living in Harmony" Sustainable living has been a part of India's tradition and culture. " Vaisudhaiv Kutumakam " Sanskrit phrase meaning that: The Entire Earth is one Family. This chapter reflects the need to manage and conserve our natural resources and also suggests ways to do this.

3. Ganga Action Plan In 1985 this multi-crore project started because the quality of water in ganga was very low. Coliform's presence in water   indicates contamination by disease causing microorganisms. Largely untreated sewage is dumped into Ganges.  Namami Ganges Programme was launched in 2014 with objective of effective abatement of pollution and rejuvenation of River Ganga.

4. The Five R's

5. Refuse Say NO to things you don't NEED. Refuse things that HARM the environment.

6. Reduce Use Less resources. Save electricity by switching off unnecessary lights and fans. Take how much you need. Avoid wastage.

7. Reuse Use the same thing AGAIN and AGAIN

8. Repurpose When a product can no more be used for the original purpose, use it for some OTHER PURPOSE. Eg.  Cups with broken handles can be used as pots to grow small plants.

9. Recycle Collect plastic, paper, glass and metal items and use them to make required things instead of synthesizing/extracting new materials.

10. Need To Manage Natural Resources

11. Forest And Wildlife Biodiversity hotspots

12. Stakeholders People with an interest or concern in   forests are the Stakeholders of Forest

13. Uses of Forest

14. Forest Management

15. Forest Management

16. Local People Saving Nature The Bishnois community: Lived in western Rajasthan on the border of Thar desert Live with the basic philosophy that all living things have the right to survive and share all resources Conserved flora and fauna to the extent of sacrificing lives Amrita Devi Bishnoi sacrificed her life along with 363 others to protect the KHEJRI trees in Khejrali village of Rajasthan.

17. Chipko Movement Originated from Reni village in Gharwal in 1970's Dispute between local villagers and a logging contracter Women saved the trees by clasping around them and preventing workers to cut it This movement quickly spread and forced the government to rethink priorities of forest produce.

18. Arabari Forest  In 1972 The forest department of west bengal discovered that Sal Forests is degraded badly. To revive the forests the forest department first stopped the traditional methods of villagers which led to the conflicts between Villagers and govt. officials. So, at last forest department changed its strategy to revive the forests. A forest officer A.K. Benerajee, involved villagers to revive the badly degraded land of sal forest. In return, govt.  provided the villagers employment in Silviculture and Harvesting Operation and allowed fuelwood and fodder collection on payment of a Nominal fee. With the active and willing participation of the local community, the sal forests of Arabari underwent a remarkable recovery- by 1983, a worthless forest was valued Rs. 12.5 crores.

19. Water for All The Basic Necessity

20. Need for Water Management

21. Dams Advantages Ensure the storage of adequate water for irrigation as well as generation of electricity. Canal sytems from these dams transfer water over great distances. Eg. Indira Gandhi Canal has brought greenery over many areas of Rajasthan. Disadvantages Social problems- displace large no. of peasants without adequate compensation/rehabilitation. Economic problems- Swallow up a huge amount of public money Contribute enormously to deforestation and loss of biological diversity.

22. Opposition against Dams Narmada Bachao Andolan: To oppose raising the  height of Sardar Sarovar Dam on river Narmada.

23. Water conservation increases biomass production. The aim of water harvesting is to develop primary resources of land and water to produce secondary resources. Khadins, tanks, nadis in Rajasthan, bandharas, tals in Maharashtra, ahars and pynes in Bihar, surangams in Kerala, bundhis in Madhya Pradesh, eris in Tamil nadu, Kattas in Karnataka are some of the water harvesting system. The advantages of water stored in ground are- It does not evaporate. Spreads out to recharge wells and provides moisture for vegetation over a wide area. Does not provide breeding grounds for mosquitos. Protected from human and animal waste. Water Harvesting

24. Coal And Petroleum Fossil fuels

25. Fossil Fuels

26. Management of Coal and Petroleum One way of fuel conservation is to avoid their wastage. Switching to alternative sources such as solar energy in the forms of solar heater, solar cookers, use of natural gas and wind energy are some ways to reduce their usage. We can also reduce the use of these natural resources by using public transport and carpool. Preference should be given to using renewable natural resources such as the sun and the wind. Windmills use wind energy to produce electricity. The solar energy is used to heat water, cook food and to generate electricity.
