Abstract
Abstract The natural resources in Balochistan are under severe threat of depletion. Balochistan is faced with many disasters like floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes and landslides etc. These disasters can be prevented if the natural resources are properly managed. Many of these disasters occur due to human mismanagement of the natural resources. Therefore, it is pertinent to introduce the subject of natural resources management in to the curriculum at schools, colleges and Universities. The students can be influential and effective communicators about natural resources conservation and management and the lessons learned at schools will also be transmitted to parents at home. This will also lead to trained people in natural resources management. The trained persons will be able to serve in watershed management, forest management, wild life management, fisheries management, rangeland management, land use planning, biodiversity conservation and river basin management etc. The integration of disaster risk reduction education at school and university level has been emphasized in this paper and no doubt, is the need of the time. If the natural resources are properly managed, it would lead to decrease incidents of disasters. Therefore, this paper urges the need for integrating natural resources management in the curricula in Balochistan.
