Recent research reveals that the degradation of agricultural soils, forests, woodlands, coastal fisheries, and wild
resources is more and more serious .The majority of the estimated costs of environmental degradation comes from
forests and natural resources are being depleted at an alarming rate. More than 50% of the original forest has been
converted to agricultural land by slash-and-burn. Despite land expansion, productivity has declined because of soil
erosion. Fish, timber, and non-timber forest product stocks are decreasing. As a result, coastal towns have begun to
experience severe water shortages. Hydropower is dropping. Wildlife populations and biodiversity are in serious
decline and many species face extinction. Poor forest management and soil degradation result in huge economic
losses. The degradation of water increase the costs and reduces the quality of both water and power. The prospects for
economic development and poverty reduction are dependent on natural resources. Natural households rely on natural
resources for their livelihoods, fisheries, and wildlife which provide protein in diets. Urban economic activities depend
on reliable hydroelectric power. However, people do not have much awareness of protecting the environment on

which their life depends.
