what is meant by conservation of natural resources?

Answer 1

smart use of, or saving resources. i.e. low use shower head, high milage car.

Answer 2

The earth's resources are being depleted by human activities. Many of these problems are global issues, which appear to be beyond our personal control or responsibility. Environmental issues, such as depletion of the ozone layer, greenhouse warming, sea-level rise, habitat destruction, water and air pollution, are a few of the problems.

We can help to slow the degradation of the earth by:

RECYCLING
Glass, aluminum, paper and plastic can be separated and returned to recycling centers in many communities.
Recycling keeps cans, bottles, paper and plastic out of our already full landfills. Recycling saves energy reducing our dependence on fossil fuels such as coal and oil. If materials are recycled, they do not foul our beaches, waterways and forests.

STOP LITTERING
Many kinds of litter are not only eyesores but dangers to wildlife. Discarded plastics are responsible for the deaths of fish, sea birds, sea turtles and marine mammals.

REDUCE POLLUTION
- Walk or ride bikes.
- Carpool with friends to school functions.

BUY WISELY
- Avoid buying prepackaged articles whenever possible. Packaging makes up 1/3 of the garbage sent to landfills.
- Ask for paper bags (comes from trees and renewable) instead of plastic.
- Avoid Styrofoam packaging which are not biodegradable and the production process contributes to the loss of our ozone layer.
- Share old toys, books and magazines with a friend or have a yard sale.

Answer 4

conservation of natural resources
conservation of natural resources, the wise use of the earth's resources by humanity. The term conservation came into use in the late 19th cent. and referred to the management, mainly for economic reasons, of such valuable natural resources as timber, fish, game, topsoil, pastureland, and minerals, and also to the preservation of forests (see forestry), wildlife (see wildlife refuge), parkland, wilderness, and watershed areas. In recent years the science of ecology has clarified the workings of the biosphere; i.e., the complex interrelationships among humans, other animals, plants, and the physical environment. At the same time burgeoning population and industry and the ensuing pollution have demonstrated how easily delicately balanced ecological relationships can be disrupted (see air pollution; water pollution; solid waste).

Conservation of natural resources is now usually embraced in the broader conception of conserving the earth itself by protecting its capacity for self-renewal. Particularly complex are the problems of nonrenewable resources such as oil and coal (see energy, sources of) and other minerals in great demand. Current thinking also favors the protection of entire ecological regions by the creation of “biosphere reserves.” Examples of such conservation areas include the Great Barrier Reef off Australia and Adirondack State Park in the United States. The importance of reconciling human use and conservation beyond the boundaries of parks has become another important issue.

Conservation Worldwide
The commitment of nations to conservation policies varies. Some nations, such as Iraq, Cambodia, and the republics of the former Soviet Union, have no protected areas, while 38% of Ecuador's land is protected and 44% of Luxembourg's is. (In the United States 7% of the land is protected.) Plants and animals have been protected through curtailment of whaling and the taking of porpoises in tuna seines and restrictions on logging. Endangered species have been protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES, 1979). In addition to CITES, United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the “Earth Summit,” 1992) produced an agreement to protect the world's biological diversity. The World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace, and other organizations also have been active in promoting conservation internationally.

Answer 5

as it's clear 4m name itself dat conservation means 2 preserve something 4 future b'coz of it's limited stock as petroleum & coal.

That is a PC term the wackos use to scare the rest of us over things like "Global warming" when they can't predict the weather next week, much less for 25 years from now.

Answer 9

meaning you have to give value in everything that Gods creation like trees ... stop cutting the trees for they are big help for us in times of flood (roots sip the flood) then the river, lake or any form of water lets preserve them by not throwing any trash to make our fish live longer, also avoid littering in our surroundings to have a clean living.
