Summary
As early as ancient times, people used the natural resources in their environment to survive and prolong their lives. Over the last few decades, irrational use of natural resources has caused several environmental problems in numerous regions all over the world (Gylfason, 2001). This fact, in combination with the rapid developments in technology, science and economy has brought forth the issue of sustainable management of natural resources (Jones, 2003). In order to effectively manage any natural resource, one should first be aware of its individual characteristics and qualities; and such knowledge can largely be derived from educational processes
