The Earth’s natural resources include air, water, soil, minerals, fuels, plants, and animals. Conservation is the practice of caring for these resources so all living things can benefit from them now and in the future. Conservation is an ethic of resource use, allocation, and protection. Its primary focus is upon maintaining the health of the natural world, its fisheries, habitats, and biological diversity.
To conserve habitat in terrestrial eco-regions and to stop deforestation is a goal widely shared by many groups with a wide variety of motivations.
To protect sea life from extinction due to overfishing or climate change is another commonly stated goal of conservation – ensuring that “some will be available for future generations” to continue a way of life.
The consumer conservation ethic is sometimes expressed by the four R’s: ” Rethink, Reduce, Recycle, Repair” This social ethic primarily relates to local purchasing, moral purchasing, the sustained, and efficient use of renewable resources, the moderation of destructive use of finite resources, and the prevention of harm to common resources such as air and water quality, the natural functions of a living earth, and cultural values in a built environment.
One of the conservation technique is sustainable forestry practices. Sustainable forestry practices are critical for ensuring we have these resources well into the future. One of these practices is leaving some trees to die and decay naturally in the forest. This “deadwood” builds up soil. Other sustainable forestry methods include using low-impact logging practices, harvesting with natural regeneration in mind, and avoiding certain logging techniques, such as removing all the high-value trees or all the largest trees from a forest.
It is important to conserve our environment for better future. Different NGO’s are working on multiple issues to conserve the environment. Among these few of them include IUCN, Nature serve, WWF and Earthwatch which are working to protect our nature and surrounding.
