• Economic activities & development project
lead to frequent human interference with the
balance of nature
• The negative effects of hasty unplanned &
unmanaged development various
environmental problems.
• These environmental problems threaten our
health, the management of resources & the
ecosystems.
• In order to reduce the negative effects
of development, every economic
activities or development projects
must be balanced by efforts to manage
the environment with the sustainable
manner.
The i mpor tanc e of pr ope r
man age ment of d evelo pm ent
act ivit ie s
• One way to balance the demand for
resources with the need to conserve
the resources is to carry out
sustainable development
• A need to have continues development
& improvement in the life of people
• This development can be sustainable
without jeopardizing the recourses of
the country.
• Development activities must take into
consideration & the environmental
impacts that will follow.
• It is importance that short term gain be
balances with the long term effects on
the environment.
-sustainable development depend largely
on the rate at which renewable
resources are used.
-the goal in sustainable development is to
exploit natural resources in a sustainable
way.
• Forest must be manage properly as they
vital environmental function & enormous
economic potential which can be tapped.
• Eg: sustainable development means that

timber can continue to be harvested
while the biodiversity of rain forest is
protected.
• Development activities must take into

activi tie s
1) Implem en ta ti on of law s
• The government has enacted legislation
to govern biological resources & the
environment
• Many laws are design to control pollution
which affect the quality of land, air and
water.
-The environmental quality act, 1974 ,1989
-The national forestry act, 1984
-The pesticides act, 1974
-The fisheries, 1985
-The protection of wild life act, 1972
2) Use of Technolog ies
• Install catalytic converter in vehicles to
clean up exhaust emission & convert the
harmful gases release during combustion
of fossil fuel to less harmful product
• Use unleaded petrol to reduce the
emission of lead into the environment.
• Treat sewage in sewage treatment plants
before it is discharge to reduce water
pollution.
2) Use of technol ogi es- cont in ue …
• Use microorganism to clean up the

environment
• Develop hydrogen-bases fuel-cell vehicles
to reduce the burning of fossil fuels
• Use technologies to reduce CO2 from
power plant
• Reduce methane emission, a by product
of cattle & other livestock waste
3) The N ati on al Fo rest
• The government has enacted legislation

to govern biological resources & the
environment
• Many laws are design to control pollution
which affect the quality of land, air and
water.
• The environmental quality act, 1974 ,1989
4) Ed uc ati on o n t he Man age ment
of resour ces
• The public must be educated on the
concept of 4Rs
R-Recycle old item eg old paper into new
product
R-Reuse eg: bottle instead of throwing
themaway
R-Reduce use of non-biodegradable item eg:
plastic bag
R-Renew
5) P reserv atio n & conserv atio n o f soil,
wa ter, the f lora & faun a of forest & t he
mangro ve sw amps
• Good agriculture must be practice:
-crop rotation
-contour farming
-effective drainage & irrigation
• Water sources & water catchments areas
must be preserved. Eg: not throw
domestic & toxic waste into river
• Deforestation & forestation must be
balanced
5) The prac tic e of biol ogi cal
con tr ol
• The use of natural predators to control the
population of pest species
• Eg: the use of owl to control the population
of rat in oil-palm plantation
• Biological control vs chemical control
-effect of pesticide remain for a long periods
-the concentration of pesticide amplified as
they pass through food-chain lead to its
accumulation in final consumer.
-the cost of using pesticide is high
-extensive use of pesticide pollute the
environment.
6) The use of r enewab le energy
• Is the energy that occur naturally in the

environment & can be harnessed for
benefit of human.
• Eg: solar energy, wind energy, biomass,
geothermal and so on.
• These energy are inexhaustible & do not
pollute the environment
7) The effic ient use of energy
• Reduce the burning of coal, petroleum &
other fossil fuels.
• Substitute natural gas for coal at power
plant.
• Improve fuel efficiency in vehicles-use car
that run on energy –efficient engine
• Use cleaner fuel by reducing the content of
sulphur in diesel & switching to gases
• Improve energy efficiency in factor
• Use more hybrid car which combine
electric & gasoline engine.

 Use planning and management methods that
address the connection between pollution
problems on land, in water and in air.
 Use planning and management methods that
maintain,protect and enhance productive and
sustainable forests,fisheries,and wildlife and
other harvestable natural resources.
 Prevent and, where practical clean up pollution
of soil, water and air to ensure the stability of
ecosystems, using innovative, cost effective
voluntary or enforcement methods.
 Maintain and restore terrestrial, wetland and
aquatic ecosystems that support diverse flora
and fauna, and that provide landscape scale
ecosystem functions from flood control to
groundwater recharge.
 Protect and, where practical, reestablish
endangered resources and habitats and work
to eradicate or control harmful, non-native
species.
 Protect ecosystems through acquisition of
land, easements or other innovative strategies.
 Meet, and where possible exceed, the public
vision for an environment that supports
sustained economic, ecological, aesthetic,
recreational, agricultural, and other uses.
 Determine and plan for long-term state water
quality and quantity needs to ensure
ecosystem integrity, sustained development
and economic stability.
 Promote reduction,reuse and recycling of
consumer goods.
 Environmental education should also be
made part of the academic programmes in
schools,colleges and universities to make
everyone conscious about the environment and
dangers facing mankind together with other
living and non-living things if no immediate
actions is taken.
 At the personal level,everyone can play a part to
conserve the Earth’s energy and resources by
the recycling process in our daily lives.
• Non-governmental organisations(or
private organizations plays a very
important role in the fight for a better
and safe environment.They call
public attention to pollution problems
and also put force government and
industry officials to act on the
problems.
