The few individuals debate that the basic advantages of natural resources is beneficial for human developments and economical growth. However, other thinks this forests and rivers are the main purpose to save natural environment from pollution. I am the view that both are equally beneficial.
Argubaly, the natural resources is the gift for any country because due to this people and governments both take benefits in sense of valuable things, like drinking water from rivers. This water is also used for crops. Moreover, agriculture industries grow efficiently. Food and other important items like wood, furniture, fishes from rivers and forests are the main source for local markets and export to internantinal market as well. So, this all are playing a role in the economically developmets of any country.
On the other hand side, this natural resources protect our globe as well. For example, due to the lack of forest, the global warming increases significantly over the couple of years. I think if we plant more trees in cities and govt produce on mass level, so the global warming reduce in the coming years that is going in favour of human beings.
In my experince, I well remember, when i was child 3 mangoes tree were in my house but due to the dryness it goin to shink. so we cut off form ground. So, now a days my house are quite warm as compare to back.
Also, one more example from pakistani government, when imran khan was the prime minister, he was pass a order for 10 million trees plantation. So. this positive step surely will be beneficial in the next 10 to 20 years for pakistan.
