Symposium Introduction

Conservation and sustainable environmental futures.

Environmental management - the only way out. The overall objective of sustainable management of natural resources is finding the best or the best ways of exploitation of natural and artificial (eg, agriculture) ecosystems. Exploitation mean harvest and the impact of those or other types of economic activities on the conditions of existence biogeocenoses.

The task of creating an optimal system of management of natural resources greatly complicated by the presence of not one but multiple criteria optimization. These include: obtaining the maximum yield, reduced production costs, conservation of natural landscapes, the maintenance species diversity of communities, clean environment, maintaining the normal functioning of ecosystems and their complexes [2].

Environmental Protection and the task of restoring natural resources should include:
- sound pest management strategies, knowledge of and compliance agricultural practices, the dosage of fertilizers, good knowledge agrocenoses and ecological processes occurring in them, as well as their boundaries with natural systems;
- Improvement of the technology and the extraction of natural resources;
- the most complete and comprehensive extraction of all deposits useful components;
- reclamation after use of deposits;
- -saving and waste-free use of raw materials in production;
- deep cleaning and the technology of industrial wastes;
- reuse of materials after the products in use;
- the use of technologies that allow extraction of trace mineral substances
- the use of natural resources and substitutes for scarce mineral compounds;
- closed cycles of production (the development and application);
- energy-saving technologies;
- the development and use of new clean energy sources.
