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.
The planned management of the environment and natural resources is a relatively modern concept intended to help insure the availability and replenishment of living resources and, to a certain extent, nonrenewable resources such as mineral and fossil fuels. Various modern efforts to conserve resources in the U.S. include the establishment of national parks intended to preserve land for wildlife.
