Ours To Save: Protecting The Environment

Product Description

Conservation is the science of making sure that nature keeps working the way it should, while at the same time taking into account the human need for natural resources. As the name indicates, conservation is about conserving, or carefully using and maintaining levels of, the resources nature provides, including water, forests (wood), soil, minerals, fossil fuels, and wildlife. This book examines the conservation of these resources, detailing protection efforts past and present, as well as the consequences of not safeguarding these particular sectors of the environment.
