A natural resource is a material or substance that is derived from the environment and has economic value. Examples of natural resources include minerals, forests, water, and wildlife. These resources are often exploited for commercial purposes, such as mining, logging, or agriculture. The extraction and use of natural resources can have significant impacts on the environment and local communities.
