Without conservation, all the resources necessary for life – air, animals, energy, minerals, plants, soil, and water – would be damaged, wasted, or destroyed.
Conservation also includes a concern for the quality of the environment, so that people can enjoy living in it. It means keeping it healthy and safe – and an interesting place to live in.
