Chap 18 Conservation, Pollution and
Waste Management
Conservation is the protection and careful management of our natural
resources. Animals like the corncrake, pearl mussel. Plants=cornflower, bog
orchid
how are we endangering???
Agriculture=drainage of land and forest, use
chemicals to kill pests on crops. Wildlife can be killed
when land is cleared e.g many bird nests are cut
down. Over Fishing, all fishes caught and do not
survive to breed.
What can we do???
Government consider the environment before planning new
roads. Zoos+Botanical gardens are encouraged to take in
breeding programs. Join our local conservation group.
