The development and use of natural resources can have both positive and negative consequences for a country. While it can drive a country's economy and provide jobs and resources for the people, it can also lead to environmental degradation, displacement of communities, and social and political conflicts. It is crucial for countries to carefully consider the impacts of natural resource development and ensure sustainable practices are in place to mitigate negative consequences.
