ConservationPreservation of the wetlands in Oregon is done by not allowing population growth to take over these areas and allowing nature to remain untouched. Preservation of the areas is needed because wetlands are considered to be among the most productive ecosystems. (Jackson Bottom Preserve, 2008) Natural regulation is best seen in the preservation sites for wetlands. Since the preservation site is unchanged by man, the wetland is able to regenerate and degrade on its own, meaning that the wetland will go through various stages of nature without mankind interrupting the course. Therefore, wetlands maintenance is a value because of the benefits they bring us like, pollution and sediment filtration; food, shelter, breeding and resting places for local wildlife and not to mention the value of education and recreation purposes as well. (Jackson Bottom Preserve, 2008) This is where conservation takes a part in maintaining the ecosystems. Conservations unlike preservations mean that man has to help in the management of the land. Conservation of the wetlands has taken place to protect the loss of wildlife in our ecosystems. Oregon has gone to the lengths of going into areas deemed as a wetland and restoring them to what we believe would be a natural site. The difference here is that we are changing the landscape to reflect what the preserved sites look like. Whereas, with the preservation sites we only have to keep the land protected by law for non-development purposes. The similarities between the two are obvious because the goal is that the end results means that both preservation and conservation wetlands means protecting the environment and restoring it to retain the value for the
