A natural disaster is a major event resulting from natural processes of the Earth. It causes a great loss of life and property. During such disasters, the number of people who are rendered, tripled and homeless is more than the number of people who loose their lives. Even the economy of the peace which faces a natural disaster, gets effected.It is true that a natural disaster is a natural process and we cannot stop it but by making certain preparations, we can reduce the magnitude of the loss to life and property. First of all we should reduce global warming which is the root cause of all the problems. We should also have insurance policies so that we could have sufficient money to rebuilt our lives after any such disaster.

Soil and Forest Conservation
Soils Conservation
Easier
Soil is the loose top layer of our planet's crust. It is dirt or earth in which plant life can grow.
Harder
Soil covers a major portion of the earth's land surface. It is an important natural resource that either directly or indirectly supports most of the planet's life. Life here depends upon soil for food.Plants are rooted in soil and obtain needed nutrients there. Animals get their nutrients from plants or from other animals that eat plants. Many animals make their homes or are sheltered in the soil. Microbes in the soil cause the breakdown and decay of dead organisms, a process that in turn adds more nutrients to the soil.
Soil is a mixture of mineral and organic materials
plus air and water. The contents of soil varies in different locations and is constantly changing.There are many different kinds and types of soils.Each has certain characteristics including a specific color and composition. Different kinds of soils support the growth of different types of plants and
also determine how well that plant life grows. Soil is formed slowly, but can be easily destroyed.Therefore, soil conservation is important for continued support of life.
Forest Conservation
conservation of forest is certainly a necessity that requires to be addressed as a priority. For the survival of human beings, a holistic approach is required to be adopted as regards protection of the plant kingdom as well as the wildlife with regard to the peaceful and mutually beneficial co-existence of all.
To prevent any kind of ecological imbalance a very pragmatic action plan has to be formulated.Towards achieving this many legislation have been enacted in India and elsewhere. At the international level also the world communities, being concerned
with the deteriorating situation worldwide, have joined hands towards finding a lasting and sustainable solution by deliberating on the subject in various conventions .

Biodiversity
Biodiversity, or biological diversity, is a term coined to describe the immense variety and richness of life on this planet. Biodiversity includes not only the many species that exist, but also the diversity of populations that make up a species, the genetic diversity among individual life forms, and the many different habitats and ecosystems around the globe.The use of the term biodiversity grew out of a concern that efforts were needed to conserve, not just particularly charismatic animals, but the diversity of life around the world, including many plants and animals that will never grace a letterhead or be the focus of an international campaign.
Soil/Land resources
Land is the other natural resource of Nepal. In Nepal most people depend on land. They do farming and earn their living from land. Land includes soil and minerals. The cultivable land in Nepal is about 17%. About 38% of the land is rocky and covered with snow.
Soil is an important factor for agriculture. It is not possible for people and animals to live on earth without soil. The land in Terai is very fertile. It is good for agriculture. So, the productivity of Terai is very high. The terai region is the storehouse of food grains. It is called the green belt of Nepal. There are many hills and mountains in Nepal. The surface is rugged and sloppy in the hills. When rainfall is heavy the top soil of the hills is washed away. Then it causes landslides. So, the trees should be planted and conserved to protect soil in the hills. Plants are the only means to hold the soil tightly and to stop erosion.

Mineral resources
The mineral are those things which are obtain from the mine and found in the womb of earth.The kingdom of nepal is very much rich in mineral resources.It has many kinds of mineral deposit like iron, copper, limestone, natural gas, coal, lead, magnsite, nickle, marbal mica in different part of kingdom.Few minerals are used to some extend by using available capital and human resources, but majority of them are still remaining unutilized and underutilized deu to the many bottlenecks.
Environment Pollution
Environment is a broad concept which includes living beings, non living things,natural resources,climate,land and sea, plants and the surrounding, atmosphere and above all, the whole ecological system of the earth.The existence of human beings, wildlife, plants and creatures is impossible without suitable environment.If the fresh, clean, suitable and the natural environment gets damaged or impure, it is known as environmental damage or pollution.
There are different kinds of environment pollution.when the resources of water such as rivers, ponds, lakes etc are polluted, it is called water pollution.When the atmosphere or the air of the surrounding gets polluted, it is called air pollution.When the soil or the earth or the land gets damaged or barren or infertile due to the garbage, it is known as land pollution.If the peaceful environment is disturbed by the noises, it is called sound pollution.When the beautiful or natural scene is made ugly by the mess of artificial things, it is called sight pollution.
