What is nature conservation?

Nature conservation is an activity that aims to preserve and protect natural diversity and maintain the balance of ecosystems. The goal is to preserve endangered species, protect natural resources and ecosystems, and prevent environmental pollution and destruction.

Nature protection can take place in many different ways, such as establishing protected areas, limiting the use of natural resources, promoting sustainable development and informing about environmental issues. Protected areas can be, for example, national parks, nature parks, protected areas and nature reserves.

The goal of nature conservation is to preserve natural diversity and the functioning of ecosystems in the long term. It is important for the health and well-being of people as well as for the future of the entire planet.
