A conservator at work

Conservation refers to the preservation, restoration or repair of the natural environment, wildlife, archaeological, historical, and cultural sites and artefacts.[1]

Conservation projects aim to:

  • maintain the environment and natural resources for future generations,
  • maintain species diversity for our benefit and that of wildlife,
  • provide opportunities for education and the enjoyment of the environment.

Fishing

Fishermen (or their governments) often agree to leave a certain number of fish uncaught, so that the population can replenish itself.
