Why is the sustainable management of natural resources essential for long-term development?
Ensures availability for future generations
Sustainable management of natural resources involves using resources at a rate that allows them to be replenished or conserved, rather than depleting them entirely.
This approach ensures that resources remain available not just for the present generation, but also for future generations, supporting long-term development.
It does not permit unlimited extraction, does not reduce the need for new technology (in fact it often relies on better technology), and does not prevent all industrial consumption, only unsustainable practices.
Therefore, the correct answer is that it ensures availability for future generations.
