Resource depletion refers to the gradual exhaustion of natural resources, such as water, minerals, and forests, due to overconsumption and unsustainable practices. As populations grow and industries expand, the demand for these resources increases, leading to their rapid extraction and use. This can result in significant environmental damage and a decline in the availability of essential materials for future generations. When resources are depleted, it can disrupt ecosystems and harm wildlife, as habitats are destroyed to access these materials. Additionally, communities that rely on these resources for their livelihoods may face economic challenges. Sustainable management and conservation efforts are crucial to prevent further depletion and ensure a balanced relationship with our planet.
