<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">However, this economic development has been largely depending on heavy exploitation of natural resources. Water resource has been abused. Natural forests have been cut down for wood products or hydro electricity
 production. Fish resources have been severely depleted while mineral resources have been over exploited. For sustainable development purpose, it is essential to ensure that renewable natural resources are used at an appropriate quantity within its renewable
 limitation while non-renewable resources should be exploited adequately in consideration of future needs and its profit should be used effectively for socio-economic development.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
