About ten thousand years back, humankind was simply a biotic component of nature. With the increasing interactions among different sections of the human population, possession of natural resources began. With the increasing greed of humankind and his/her desire to dominate nature, challenges to sustainability have increased.

The only solution to the problem may be summarized as follows:

1) So called “cultured society” or “civilized people” are creating more threats to nature.

2) Natural means of conservation adopted by ethnic races should be strictly followed.

3) Civilized sections of society should give more respect to environmental policies and laws.

4) There must be severe punishment to whosoever threatens sustainability.

5) There must be an awareness campaign to disseminate knowledge about environmental management. The resources are limited, human greed is unlimited, and if our current situation continues, the day is very close when our future generation will not forgive
