con·ser·va·tion noun: conservation the action of conserving something, in particular. preservation, protection, or restoration of the natural environment, natural ecosystems, vegetation, and wildlife.
Usage, improvement, and protection of human and natural resources in a wise manner, ensuring derivation of their highest economic and social benefits on a continuing or long-term basis.
