Managing Natural Resources through Sustainable Environmental Actions: A Cross-Sectional Study of 138 Countries

Management of natural resources is pivotal for sustained economic growth—the increasing ecological footprints causing biocapacity deficit threaten the resource conversation agenda. The study identified the potential causes and consequences of natural resource depletion in a broad cross-section of 13...
