Protecting natural resources
Environmental conservation is the protection, preservation, and careful management of natural resources and ecosystems.
The term encompasses efforts to prevent habitat destruction, reduce pollution, and maintain biodiversity: The organization focuses on environmental conservation in tropical rainforests.
Conservation implies sustainable use rather than complete non-use—balancing human needs against ecological health.
