Study of Natural Resource Conservation
Keywords:
Conservation, ecosystems, protecting, nature, humanAbstract
Air, minerals, plants, soil, water and animals are Earth's natural resources. Conservation means that these resources may be cared for and protected so they can last for future generations. It conserves the variety of species, genes and ecosystems, as well as environmental processes, such as nutrient cycling. Conservation is related to conservation, although both pertain to nature protection but try in various methods to achieve this goal. Conservation aims to utilise nature in a sustainable way for people for activities such as hunting, logging or mining, whereas preserving natural implies safeguarding from human use.
