There are many reasons-both emotional and practical-why wildlife conservation is important. Conservation can have powerful, direct impacts on the daily lives of people around the world, as well as on plant and animal life and the environment as a whole.
Conservation is an ethic of resource use, allocation, and protection. Its primary focus is upon maintaining the health of the natural world, its fisheries, habitats, and biological diversity. Secondary focus is on materials conservation, including non-renewable resources such as metals, minerals and fossil fuels, and energy conservation, which is important to protect the natural world.
