An increase of population demands more food , more shelte, more services and other facilities. As the population increases the use of the environmental resources increase. It forces to initiate more development activities to meet the needs of people. But people should not forget to conseve the environment along wiht the development works. It is necessary to maintaion a balance betweeen the population growth, environmental resources and development activities. The relationship of people, environment and development activities needs to be maintained and continure for keeping the enviornment a healthy habitat.

People conduct different types of development activities to fulfol their needs and aspirations. The development activities include physical facilities, socio- economic and culturalaspects. the conservation programmes should be integrated with the evelopment work. This has been described earlier.
