This paper aimed to make clear the mutual relations between the means of environmental protection, resource management, and the world-wide scale North-South problems by reviewing several research papaers. We can find many cases from the resource extractions and lumbering deforestations and resulting environmental disruptions in the 'southern' developing nations showing the nature of the problems' interdependencies typically. For example, those nations are often lumbering their forests unwillingly to recover the deficits of their balance of international payments derived from the enforcement unproper, non-original but seemingly gland developing projects. Recently some corrective measures and steps are taken in some countries but with little enough performances. On the other hand, concerning the subject of water resource development and management, the U. S. shows various suggestive and interesting transactions through the long fought-over history for water resourcers that is becoming gradually scarce in their territory. The key word of that is, SAVING. We, the peole of highly industrialized nations, must consider the fact that we have no longer any right to exhaust many invaluable resources on the world. We must examine our "modern" life style accompanying wasteful resource consumptions.
