Natural resources and the environment in general have gained greater importance in the world, as vital resources for human and animal existence, as the basis of all species on the planet and as an input to the production of goods that meet the needs of man, among other important uses, but the importance that has been given to this resources as primary piece in the economies is relatively recent. Recognizing the importance of the environment and natural resources, the need arises to improve the way to control and manage these resources (recognizing their consumption and deterioration), ensuring maximum rationality in their use. Then, environmental management is considered crucial to ensure the conservation and sustainability of the natural resources and the environment over time. The national accounts could contribute for a better way to improve environmental management and this is achieved through the recognition and inclusion of information relating to natural resources and environmental degradation in these systems, becauseif it not be considered, decisions based on the information provided by the national accounting systems may bewrong to not take a holistic view of the environment.
