Exploitation of natural resources This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article "Exploitation_of_natural_resources".
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.
