Conservation

-When we talk about conservation, it is necessary to understand that conserving the environment, biodiversity and ecosystems is aimed at guaranteeing the survival of human beings. The idea of ​​conservation is old, but this term began to be used recently. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) defines conservation as: “The human use of the biosphere to yield the maximum sustainable benefit, while maintaining the potential necessary for the aspirations of future generations”. The main objective of the conservation action is to maintain the essential biological and ecological processes, preserving the genetic diversity, as well as the sustainable use of species and the ecosystem in general. Within conservation activities, protection and restoration of endangered species are included; the careful use and recycling of scarce resources and minerals; rational use of energy, sustainable land use, among others.
