Management of Natural Resources 3 marks Medium
List three advantages each of :
  1. (i)exploiting resources with short term aims, and
  2. (ii)using a long term perspective in managing our natural resources.

Answer

Short-term aims give quick profit, progress and industrialisation; a long-term view keeps resources for the future, gives lasting development and conserves the environment.

(i) Short term aims: Immediate benefit and quick profit, though to a few people; progress of science and technology for the development of the country; rapid urbanisation and industrialisation of an area. (ii) Long term perspective: Resources remain available for future generations (sustainable development); a lasting contribution to socio-economic development, shared by more people; the quality of the environment is conserved.
