The Conservation Movement

The Conservation Movement is a societal effort to protect and preserve natural resources, wildlife, and ecosystems for future generations. It emerged in response to increasing environmental degradation caused by industrialization, urbanization, and resource exploitation. The movement advocates for sustainable use of resources, pollution reduction, and the creation of protected areas like national parks. Its goal is to maintain the health of the environment while balancing human needs. Prominent figures like Theodore Roosevelt and John Muir contributed to shaping conservation policies, emphasizing the importance of nature’s preservation for ecological integrity and overall well-being.
