Conservation of Water
Water is one of the most important substances on earth. All plants and animals must have water to survive. If there was no water there would be no life on earth. Water is also essential for the healthy growth of farm crops and farm stock and is used in the manufacture of many products.
Conservation of Forest
Forests have many and varied functions. Not only do they provide food and fuel, they are also increasingly critical in the preservation of national lands, the conservation of water resources, and human health, culture and education.
Conservation of Wildlife
When we conserve and protect the natural habitat of wildlife species, we enrich our planet. To do so, we must keep the animals in their natural place. Conservation of natural habitats will also be beneficial for humans since it helps keep the essential watersheds intact and ensuring clean, fresh water.
