While exploiting the natural resources we should consider the following factors:

(a) The available natural resources must be managed for a long-term so that these will last for the generations to come.

(b) Management of resources to ensure equitable distribution of resources among all the people.

(c) Sustainable management of the environment is required while we exploit or used these natural resources. For example, mining causes pollution because of a large amount of slag is produced which should be properly disposed of.
