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