Environmental Conservation

What Is Environmental Conservation?

Have you ever heard the word "Environmental Conservation"? Maybe you have, but do you know what it means and how it helps the Earth? Environmental conservation is the practice of us humans trying to save nature and protect it. This planet is filled with resources some are renewable and some aren't. Environmental Conservation is the protection, preservation, management, or restoration of natural environments and also the ecological communities that inhabit them. Conservation refers to the responsible management of the environment and its resources for present and future use. Conservation works in 2 ways, It is meant to protect nature by protecting vital resources, and it is also a way of living that works against the irresponsible practices of businesses.

As you may know, humans have destroyed this planet so they are now helping the Earth so that it can become healthy again, that is what Environmental Conservation is. Environmental Conversation is important because it is needed to protect wildlife and promote biodiversity. It is also needed to help keep a healthy and functional ecosystem.

What are the 3 types of environmental conservation?

Environmental Conservation. Environmental conservation refers to the environment being used sustainably, Wildlife Conservation, Marine Conservation, and humans Conservation.

Wildlife conservation is the act of protecting ecosystems and environments to protect the animals that live there. Animal conservation is an international campaign, spanning thousands of projects and doubles the number of people, working tirelessly to protect our planet. Marine conservation is the protection of marine species and ecosystems in oceans and seas worldwide. It involves restoration of species, populations, and habitats and also mitigating human activities such as overfishing. Human Conservation is the care and protection of these resources so that they can persist for future generations.

Trees convert carbon dioxide produced by factories into oxygen, which helps us breathe and respire. The trees that help us to breathe also isolate greenhouse gasses that would cause the Earth to heat up more quickly. They hold soil in place and naturally filter water that has been absorbed into the ground. Wherever trees are established, wildlife and other plants are sure to follow, ensuring a healthier ecosystem. Trees provide shelter and food for a variety of birds and small animals.

Wildlife Conservation

Animal conservation is protecting environments and ecosystems for animals that live there. People who work in Animals Conservation make about $29.48 hourly in 2018 a median conservation worker made $61,310. They make a lot of money than higher jobs. It is important to talk about animals conservation because many people just go out and fish like nothing collecting so many fish a day which is fine but they are taking away other animals habitat and also they are taking them for there natural life. Also climate change has a lot to do with effecting animals natural ecosystems. For example, the animals that live in the ice are getting effected by the climate change parts of ice are melting and they can live in cooler weather. Endangered species has been a problem for quite some time now but it gets worst and worst the number are going up and they keep on disappearing .

Marine Conservation

Marine conservation is also known as marine resources conservation, is the protection and preservation of ecosystems in oceans and seas. Marine conservation basically focuses on limiting human-caused damage to marine ecosystems, and on restoring damage marine ecosystems. Marine conservation also focuses on preserving vulnerable marine species. Marine conservation helps protect important habitats and representative samples of marine life and can assist in restoring the productivity of the oceans and avoid further degradation.

The ocean also absorbs over 90% of the heat and approximately 30% of carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities. Many marine protected areas are often unnecessarily expensive and located in the wrong places, an international study has shown. The research found protected areas missed many unique ecosystems, and have a greater impact on fisheries than necessary.

What You Can Do to Help Conserve Nature

There are several ways that you can help conserve nature, but here are just some different ways that you can help conserve nature.

You can use less plastic to help the marine wildlife. If we continue to use the same amount of plastic that we regularly use, then there would be the same amount of marine animals dying. Try reusing as many stuff as possible.

You can try to use less water, try taking shorter showers or turning off the faucet when brushing your teeth that can reduce water waste in your home. Try also thrift shopping more because it can take 600 gallons of water to make a single cotton shirt so thrift shopping can help save a lot of water.

Try using gas powered transportation less often and ride your bike/scooter or a bus more often. The more we use our own cars, the more we pollute the air which can be unhealthy for us.

You can plant new plants in your backyard or wherever. Plants are really good for the environment, they are good for us and animals.
