This document discusses the nature, use and exploration of resources. It defines a resource as anything of value that humans use to meet needs. Resources are classified as biotic, abiotic, renewable and non-renewable. Actual resources in Bangladesh include forests, agriculture, fish, manpower, coal, natural gas and tourism. Potential resources are being explored for future use and include solar and wind energy. Many resources are used and exported, with opportunities to further develop and explore renewable options.
