Preservation and conservation

Preservation and conservation are both approaches to protecting our natural and cultural resources. Preservation focuses on maintaining and keeping these resources in their original state, often restricting any alterations or use to prevent degradation. In contrast, conservation involves managing resources wisely to ensure their sustainability while still allowing for some use or change. For example, conservation might include carefully controlled activities like tourism or farming, while preservation emphasizes protection from human impact. Both aim to ensure that future generations can enjoy and benefit from our environment and heritage.
