Conservation conflicts arise when natural resource shortages develop in the face of steadily increasing demands from a growing human population. Controversy frequently surrounds how a resource should be used , or allocated , and for whom. For example , a river may supply water for agricultural irrigation, habitat for fish , and water-generated electricity for a factory. Farmers , fishers , and industry leaders vie for unrestricted access to this river , but such freedom could destroy the resource , and conservation methods are necessary to protect the river for future use . Conflicts worsen when a natural resource crosses political boundaries . For example , the headwaters , or source , of a major river may be located in a different country rather than the country though which the river flows . There is no guarantee that the river source will be protected to accommodate resource needs downstream . In addition , the way in which one natural resource is managed has a direct effect upon other natural resources . Cutting down a forest near a river , for instance , increases erosion , the wearing-away of such as fish and important aquatic plants that require clean , clear freshwater for survival.
