PROBLEM STATEMENT
Sustainable development is defined as development that satisfies the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy theirs. Sustainable
development insists on the need to protect the diversity of genes, species, and all terrestrial
and aquatic ecosystems in nature. This is possible in particular to protect the quality of the
environment, and by the restoration, development, and maintenance of habitats that are
essential to species.
