Land on Earth is as any our other natural resources .While mankind has learnt to daapt his lifestyle to various ecosystems world over,he cannot live comfortably for instance on polar ice caps.under the sea,or in space in the foressable future.
Man needs land for building homes ,cultivating food,maintaing pastures for domestic animals,devoloping industries to provide goods and supporting the industries by creating towns and cities,Equally importantly,man needs to protect wilderness are in forests,grasslands,wetlands,mountains,coasts etc..to protect variable biodiversity.
Thus, a rationa; use of land needs careful planning.One can develop most of these different types of land uses almost anywhere ,but protected areas(National parks and wildlife santuries )can only be situted where some of the natural ecosystems are still undistrubed .These PAs are important aspects of good landuse planning.
