what are the types of conservation?

Wilburn Denice: Bubba has a good point. "Types" can mean almost anything and you should really look to your text or the notes you took in class to determine how to divide up the field.To continue in the vein that Bubba started, sometimes you want to manage a population to increase it (condors), sometimes you want to decrease it (white-tailed deer in suburbia), sometimes you want to eliminate it completely (disease organisms)....Show more

Esteban Faggett: Types of conservation include:Water conservation:many people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water, and many of the abu! ndant water sources, even in developed countries, are very polluted. Water-borne illness is the number one cause of disease in the world. Soil Conservation: Keeping topsoil intact is an important priority. Without the nutrients on this top layer, crops cannot be grown. Eutrophication from leeching of nutrients from the soil can damage aquatic ecosystems.Energy conservation: Saving energy becomes more important as fossil fuel prices increase and supplies are projected to decrease. It can range from turning off the lights to finding alternative fuel sources.Wetland conservation:Many wetlands have been lost due to development and industrial operations. These ecosystems serve as protection against floods and as habitats for many endangered species.Prairie conservation: Due to the high nutrient content of their soil, prairies have been overexploited in agriculture. They can provide habitats for wildlife and conserving them ties directly into soil conservation....Show more
