Purpose

This module considers the wise use of land and natural resources as one of the most important influences on the abundance and variety (biodiversity) of animals and plants sharing our environment. The lack of effective land use planning and the poor management of the earth’s natural resources has led to a dramatic decline in biodiversity throughout the world.

Benefits
