Conservation and Preservation Check Pt Week 2 Sci275
Conservation and Preservation check pt

Conservation is the sustainable use of natural resources including wildlife, water, air, and earth deposits. Some of these natural resources may be renewable or non-renewable. The conservation of renewable resources like trees involves making sure that we are not using more than what we are able to replace. The conservation of non-renewable resources like fossil fuels involves ensuring that we are only using them when we need to.
Preservation is maintaining the earth keeping it in its original condition. Some areas of the Earth are, so far, untouched by humans. This is due to the concern that mankind is encroaching onto the environment at such a rate that many untamed landscapes are being given over to farming, industry, housing, tourism and other human developments, and that we our losing too much of what is 'natural'.
I, personally, do not think that humans should harvest forest resources. I think that they should leave the forests along. I say this because we are driving our wildlife out of their natural habitats and some are dying as a result of this. I think that the forests should be left at their natural resources and we should not use it to benefit our way of life. I think that we should come up with an alternative to some of the resources we are using from the forest to benefit our lifestyle.
I am on the side of preservation. I think that things should be left as natural as possible. That was the way it was before mankind, and the wildlife was not threatened in any

    Bridger Teton

    Conservation is the use and exploitation of the land in a sustainable way, or one might say to manage. Preservation is the protection of the land that limits use, in order to maintain a pristine condition or to protect. After my research, I do believe that humans can actually harvest forest resources in an environmentally friendly way. Does that mean we should? In my opinion, I think that each situation is different, based on the use of the land and what the condition of the land is that is trying to be used. In the case of the Bridger Teton National forest, I do feel that it should be left in its natural state. For so many years this land has been untouched, untamed and undiscovered. To take land of this nature for drilling, building roads and pipelines are not worth it. To the people of Wyoming it is more valuable than what you can get out of it from oil and gas. New technology should allow other ways to give us freedom for foreign oil. I really thought it was odd that the politicians were already calling “Management Area 71” which does not scream environmentally friendly.…

    5. A natural resource occurs naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by humanity; in a natural form; anything that people can use which comes from nature; we gather them from nature. EX: air, water, wood, oil, iron, wind energy, coal, hydroelectric energy. A natural/ecosystem service are regularly involved in the provisions of clean drinking water and the decomposition of waste. Natural ecosystem services is split into four categories: provisioning, such as the production of food and water; regulating, such as the control of climate and disease; supporting, such as nutrient cycles and crop pollination; and cultural, such as spiritual and recreational benefits.…

    The preservation movement was started by John Muir. The “preservation movement” involves the protection of nature and historic values such as buildings, objects, and landscapes from humans. Preservationist like Muir believes that the value of the land is not what you can use from it, but the land itself as it exists. The authors of the sources sought to eliminate humans impact altogether by presenting to everyone that it is irrational and unthoughtful to cut down trees and prevent natural resources from accomplishing specific purposes in certain environments. In my opinion, the authors were also trying to express the lack of care and appreciation for the nation’s natural resources that humans provide by using…

    My name is Michelle lane I am writing this letter to share my thoughts about preserving the Bridger Teton. This big stretch of land has not been affected by human technology. It has been preserved in its natural state. It is important to us as human beings. This stretch of land has a lot of trees, wild animals, and wild vegetation that call this stretch of land home. We cannot disturb it in the name of progress. We need to make sure we preserve this land so it can flourish and remain the same, untouched by technology and humans who want to mine it for resources. I agree that we need resources to sustain our lives and how we live it, but there are other ways to do so. Understandably we do not want to rely on other countries to supply us with the resources that we need but if we need to understand that we cannot deplete all the land that we have available to us. We have to think of the future and what we are going to leave for the growing generation. Eventually we will use up all the resources that we have and we would have to rely on other countries to help us. Wouldn’t it be better that while we have available resource we find a better way of getting what we need without destroying valuable land? What we need to do is find other ways to make sure we sustain our life style. For now I believe we need to rely on other countries to meet our needs and while we are doing that we need to develop other ways or find other resources. Saving the Bridger Teton will ensure that the wild life, trees and vegetation that live there will continue to flourish, they will continue to grow hopefully our children and future generations will be able to benefit and be able to appreciate the land that we try so hard to protect. Maybe in the future there will be more lands like the Bridger Teton that was protected and saved so the future generations can benefit from it.…

    Endangered species have more right not to be killed than members of other species, endangered species whose numbers are so small that the species is at risk of extinction. Once the endangered animals are gone they won't come back. They are an important role in wildlife, if we take them out the whole system will be disrupted if some animals start to become extinct they could ruin the food chain and sometimes affect us or other creatures. If people kill too many mice, foxes get less food to eat, and there would be way too many bugs biting people, and there wouldn't be enough plants for all the bugs. Every animal has a purpose in this world if it is killed it won’t be able to fulfil its purpose and will ruin the dynamic of things.…

    This report is being wrote to give some reasoning on why wildlife conservation matters and is important. The meaning of conservation is the protection, preservation, management, or restoration of wildlife and of natural resources such as forests, soil, and water (The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 2000). Human efforts are to prevent the loss of present populations using different techniques such as controls on hunting, importation of non-native species and pollution. Wildlife conservation is important and is not to be mixed up with preservation, preservation suggests wildlife should be left alone with no contact from humans whereas conservation will use human involvement to restore habitats for example.…
