Abstract	The paper highlights that poverty has been a source of a severe threat to global environment. The earth is one but the world is not. For sustainable livelihood of human being, man is destroying the nature, without replacing it any more. Further, high mass of consumption had added fuel to fire. Certainly, majority of the populations in developing economies living within them, depend directly on natural resources. For many of these economies, primary product exports account for the vast majority of their export earnings, and one or two primary commodities make up the bulk of exports. Agricultural value added accounts for an average of 40 per cent GDP, and nearly 80 per cent of the labor force is engaged in agricultural or resources-based activities.For a sample of 76 developing economies from Africa, Asia and Latin America, the incidence of rural poverty rises as developing countries have more of their populations concentrated on fragile lands. Although the average poverty rate across all economies is 45.8 per cent, the rate falls 36.8 per cent for those countries with less than 20 per cent of their population in fragile environments. Much of developing economies are depending on natural resources. The incidence of poverty rises in these economies has been formed with population, whose livelihoods are concentrated on fragile lands. Generally, poor people are forced to overuse environmental resources. In India also all major rivers turned into polluted, one-third forest degraded into one-sixth. Too much logging, turned into loss of flora and fauna. Global countries realised that natural resources are limited, so that we have revive it by reducing population size, rejuvenation of land, reducing pollutions and support for regeneration of natural resources. Protection and promotion of environment is found as a need of the hour. Sustainable development is not as easy as we said. Renewal, recycle, reuse, reduce of resources are to be used regularly for ever green globe. Natural resources accounting, budgeting, management are to be made popular. So that poor can be elevated. Encouragement of political party on environment is badly needed.
