Week two: Conservation – Defining conservation

Defining conservation

Conservation refers to ‘biological limits’, management and/ or protection of endangered species (Adamson, Gleason and Pellow 2016: 41 & World Land Trust N.D.). Broadly, when considering the implementation of conservation, it calls for the use, maintenance, restoration and enhancement of natural resources (Adamson, Gleason and Pellow 2016: 42). In order words, humans would need to consider the ‘biological limitations of the environment’ when they want to address their needs (Adamson, Gleason and Pellow 2016: 42).
