Following are the causes:
1. Rapid population growth, and technical development has increased the rate of exploitation, due to which several natural resources of the world, specially non – renewable resources, are on the verge of extinction. So, such resources are to be saved for future generations.
2. While important resources are disappearing due to increased urbanisation, industrialisation and deforestation, on the other hand, it has also created serious problem of environmental pollution and imbalance. To maintain human existence and to provide a healthy environment, resource conservation is necessary.
