Environment is the natural environment around us that includes forests, oceans, mountains, and various other landscapes. These regions are rich in non-renewable mineral resources. In this natural environment, various organisms and thousands of microorganisms created by humans coexist with nature. Earth's biodiversity can only be preserved if we preserve and protect this natural environment, which contains innumerable living organisms and microorganisms. There are many proofs in Tamil literature that Tamil Nadu is a great country with abundant natural resources. This article compares the Moovendras who are mentioned in three Cantos and thirty divisions in the epic literature “Silapathikaram” and the three triumvirs who ruled Chola Nadu, Chera Nadu and Pandiya Nadu and the natural resources in them that made those countries prosperous by the rivers Kaveri, Vaigai, Periyar etc. and the natural resources and natural environment of these areas.
