Nature’s Treasure Class 6 Notes

Nature’s Treasure: Nature is full of amazing things that help all living beings to live and grow. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil we use for farming, and the sunlight we get every day are all gifts from nature. These things are called natural resources. They help plants, animals, and people survive. Nature’s treasure also includes forests, rivers, mountains, and oceans.

Types of Natural Treasures

Nature’s treasures can be divided into two main types, living and non-living. Both living and non-living treasures are connected. Plants grow in soil and need sunlight and water. Animals eat plants and depend on them for food. Human Beings need both plants and animals to stay healthy.

• Living treasures include all plants, animals, and humans. They grow, move, and reproduce. Trees give us fruits, shade, and oxygen. Animals provide milk, wool, and meat. Humans use these things wisely to live comfortably.
• Non-living treasures include air, water, sunlight, soil, and minerals. Air helps us breathe. Water keeps us alive and is used for cleaning, cooking, and farming. The sun gives heat and light. Soil helps plants grow and provides food for everyone. Minerals are found inside the earth and are used to make several useful things.

Importance of Nature’s Treasure

Nature’s treasure is very important for everyone. It gives us food, clothes, shelter, and medicines. Trees clean the air and bring rain. Rivers give us water for drinking and farming. Mountains store snow, which melts and feeds the rivers. Animals help keep the balance in nature by eating plants or other animals. Even tiny creatures like bees help in pollination so that plants can make fruits and seeds.

How Can We Protect Nature’s Treasure?

Everyone can help in protecting nature’s treasure. Here are some simple ways:

• Plant more trees to make the air clean and bring more rain.
• Save water by turning off taps when not needed.
• Throw waste properly in dustbins and recycle items whenever possible.
• Use less plastic because it harms animals and the environment.
• Do not harm animals or cut down forests.
• Use sunlight and wind energy instead of burning fuels.
