Summary
Conservation is the concern for the preservation, restoration, or improvement of the natural environment, such as the conservation of natural resources, prevention of pollution, and certain land use actions. One mantra of conservationists is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Various modern efforts to conserve resources in the U.S. include the establishment of national parks intended to preserve land for wildlife.
