Abstract:
The past several decades have witnessed an impetus in exponential population
growth and civilization expansion, opulent lifestyles and resources consumption, and
proceeding industrial and technological advancements that have led to climbing wages, as
well as to a sharp modernization and metropolitan growth. The development of any
country reckons on its industrial as well as agricultural activities and the natural resources
such as air, water, soil, and plant as well as animal life constitute the natural capital on
which man depends on to satisfy his needs to achieve his aspirations for development.
However, rates of exploitation of these natural resources as well as extensive industrial
activities are far surpassing the past with a negative connotation of accompanying
environmental degradation
