Answer:

  1. Management of the human use of natural resources to provide the maximum benefit to current generations while maintaining capacity to meet the needs of future generations. Conservation includes both the protection and rational use of natural resources.Earth's natural resources are either nonrenewable, such as minerals, oil, gas, and coal, or renewable, such as water, timber, fisheries, and agricultural crops. The combination of growing populations and increasing levels of resource consumption is degrading and depleting the natural resource base. The world's population stood at 850 million at the onset of the industrial age. The global population has grown to nearly seven times as large (6 billion), and the level of consumption of resources is far greater. This human pressure now exceeds the carrying capacity of many natural resources.
  2. Methods of Conservation
  • By law Giving protection to animals and plant species or special areas of land or water.

  • Restoration To restore unsightly countryside (e.g. waste tips and slag heaps etc.).

  • RewildingAllowing areas to restore themselves naturally without interference by humans (except possible species reintroduction)

  • Alternative Energy A need to find alternative resources to replace coal and oil etc.

  • Nature Reserves and ZoosOf special value in preserving rare animal species.

  • Recycling Reprocessing of unwanted products (e.g. newspapers, scrap metals, glass and sewage etc.).

  • Education Making more people aware of the need to protect and preserve the environment through schools, youth organizations and the media.
