Conservation: A Definition


Conservation, in the environmental sense, is the wise, careful, and sustainable management of natural resources.


It emphasizes the integration of people and nature, not the attempted isolation of one from the other.

It is different from Preservation which seeks to maintain nature in a pristine state.

Stewardship is an essential element of Conservation.
