Conservation refers to the protection, preservation, and management of natural resources, including land, water, forests, wildlife, and other living organisms. The goal of conservation is to maintain the ecological balance and ensure the sustainability of natural resources for present and future generations. The principles of conservation are often applied in both environmental and cultural contexts, as conservationists seek to protect both natural and cultural heritage sites from damage or destruction. (OpenAI, 2023).
Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, that exist on Earth. This encompasses not only the number of different species but also the genetic diversity within each species, as well as the variety of ecosystems and habitats in which they live. Biodiversity is crucial to the health and well-being of the planet, as it provides important ecological services such as pollination, nutrient cycling, soil formation, and climate regulation. (OpenAI, 2023).
