Environmental Stewardship means management of natural resources very carefully and with full responsibility
Environmental Stewardship means management of natural resources very carefully and with full responsibility. Sustainability is defined as meeting the present requirements without sacrificing the ability of future generations to fulfil their own requirements by balancing environmental, economical and social issues. Thus sustainability is related to conservation of environmental resources so that it is available for future generations whereas Stewardship is only management of natural resources. 
Amazon Rainforests is spread over a large area of land and covers areas in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia and the Eastern Andean region of Ecuador and Peru. It is an essential source of Oxygen and approximately 20 percent of Oxygen is produced in Amazon rainforests and it contains large species of plants and animals. But currently deforestation is a big environmental concern in Amazon rainforests.
