Describe four main conservation approaches. Give at least one example for each approach, and discuss how they relate to the ecosystems of wild animal species, forest and terrestrial species, and aquatic or marine species. Describe three renewable energy sources and the benefits and limitations of each of these sources to the environment.

1. In-situ conservation: This approach involves protecting species in their natural habitats. Examples include national parks and wildlife reserves. This method is crucial for wild animal species as it allows them to live in their natural environment, maintaining Show more…

We learned about different approaches to establishing conservation priorities: the species approach, ecosystem approach, wilderness approach, and the hotspot approach. Choose one approach, describe its basic premise and provide examples for this approach. Be sure to discuss whether you think this approach is an effective way to establish conservation priorities.

3 ways humans are rectifying our mistakes made on other animal species, because of our lifestyles. I am looking for 3 direct links to animal conservation and/or preservation efforts in order to help endangered species increase their reproductive success. Please also explain each link with a 2-3 sentence summary of that conservation and/or preservation effort.

7. Rice fields are turned into residentials and commercial centers. 8. Extensive and uncontrolled mining is allowed to boost economy. 9. Paper cups and cardboards are recycled into creative crafts and sold. 10. Exploring geothermal energy resource as an alternative to fossil fuels. What I Have Learned Activity 3: Conservation Counts! Directions: Read the paragraph below. Choose the word that best fit the sentences to complete the paragraph. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper. Wasting Destruction Carbon Dioxide Conserving Sustainable Wisely Recycling Sustainability Global Warming Reforestation We need to use our natural resources responsibly. 1. ______ is the practice of using these resources 2. ______ without 3. ______ them or using them up completely so that these resources will be able to support the needs of the present and future generations. There are many ways each of us can help to ensure that we have 4. ______ natural resources. Reducing waste, reusing materials instead of throwing them away, 5. ______, composting, and 6. ______ are some of the many ways that we need to practice. However, as human population grows, our needs also increase. Forests have been cleared and transformed for urban use. Trees are also cut down for lumber and to build houses which resulted to the 7. ______ of habitats of animals. Deforestation also leads to soil erosion. To make this sustainable, new seedlings should be planted in deforested areas and reduce the number of trees being cut down. 8. ______ is the practice of planting new trees in areas that have been depleted. Burning of fossil fuels contributes to air pollution and produce 9. ______ and other greenhouse gases which can trap heat in our atmosphere contributing to 10. ______ and climate change. Pollution in bodies of water is also widespread. Instead of throwing plastics and other wastes in rivers, recycling these materials and creating arts and crafts will make them sustainable. Organic wastes can be used for composting and eventually be added to soil to help plants grow.
