What Is Conservation?
Conservation is caring for life on Earth. It consists not only of the different species of plants, animals and other organisms, but also of the genetic variety within species and the variety of ecosystems. Biodiversity is the term given to describe the variety of all life.
It is a sad fact that man and his activities have been the greatest threat to biodiversity. The variety of species is being reduced to uniform ecosystems as most of the unique species have been removed. Conservation is the activity that aims to protect biodiversity while at the same time allowing man to benefit from it.
