Several challenges can impede resource conservation efforts: 1. Lack of Awareness: Staff may not be aware of the importance of conservation or the methods to achieve it. 2. Resistance to Change: Implementing new practices can face resistance from staff accustomed to traditional methods. 3. Initial Costs: Some conservation measures may require an initial investment, which can be a barrier for some facilities. 4. Inadequate Infrastructure: Older facilities may lack the infrastructure needed for efficient resource management.
