Exploitation of natural resources

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exploitation of natural resources is an essential condition of the human existence.

This refers primarily to food production, but minerals, timber, and a whole raft of other entities from the natural environment also have been extracted.

Often the exploitation of nature has been done in a non-sustainable way, which is causing increasing concern, as a non-sustainable exploitation of natural resources ultimately threatens human existence.
