Why is conservation important?

I am guessing you are asking about environmental conservation.  Certain natural resources are limited.  If we use them wisely, then they will be available for a longer period of time.\n\nThere is a limited amount of oil in the ground, for example.  If we use it up, we will not have it to heat homes and power vehicles.  One way to conserve, would be to find other ways to heat homes and run motors.  Solar power, wind power and now biofuel are ways in which people are trying to do this.  Another way to conserve would be to use less heat in our homes and find other ways of travel, instead of cars.\n\nFrom my point of view, the most important environmental resources are clean air and clean water.  If you pollute those resources then nothing will live - people, animals, plants - we all need clean air and water.\n\nTrees help clean the air, which is why it is important to have forests and parks, so the trees can consume the carbon dioxide we breathe out while they breathe out the oxygen we breathe in.

You are really confusing me. Conserve what?!

Soil conservation refers to techniques used to prevent soil being lost or harmed by overuse, erosion, salinization etc.\n\nTechniques recommended by the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service include:\n\nwindbreaks \nterracing \ncover crops \ncontour plowing \n\nfor more details, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_conservation\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_conservation

Extinct species, if not extinct by human activity (shooting them, cutting their forests down, etc.), have extinct for a reason - they did not fit well to the enviournment.\nRecreation of such species may destabilize the delicate balance of nature.\nMoreover, any human interferance with nature, whether trying to do good or bad, can only harm it.\n\nThere are two (1.5) reasons. I think you can start with these, and probably the rest will come to mind after writing this. If not, I believe that other people will have further ideas.\n\nGood luck!

Everything in life has a limit. There's only so much petroleum in the world, as well as resources. If you don't save or recycle them, then your future relatives will have a rough time living. It's vital to save resources.

Game preserves are restricted environments for the purpose of preserving the natural habitats of animals (wild life indigenous to the region)and plant life.\n\nSome game preserves offer lectures about nature and conservation; some have walking trails too.  Cars are very restricted

Most of the time its a near endangered species.  They usually aren't so bad that they are on the endangered species list but are close.  It can act as a way for animal rights people to protect them even though they aren't at the needed population level to be protected.  This is true most times, but not all.

They are homes to millions of species of plants and animals.  They help keep the equilibrium of our planet constant.

We should devote our time equally to human and animal rights.  One should not be more important than the other, seeing as they are both very important.  \nAnimal rights are important because:\n1. WE ARE ALL ANIMALS (those of you who took biology know this)\n2.  OUR SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON THEIR SURVIVAL\n3. SOME FEEL WHAT WE FEEL

It is important to the world. Leads to knowlege, new ideas, new advances, takes away ignorance, and leads to a better understanding of the world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_ethic is one I found but if you look to the right there's several more web addresses in blue. You might also try the encyclopedia brittanica. You'll probably be down to about 10 after you do all that.

The importance of respect is to keep peace and standing, and to make sure that there is distinction between people. It's also to make sure the human race doesn't drive itself to extinction.

it is very important.

I don't think we need to die out to protect nature.  Why? We're capable of making rational decisions and minimizing our harm.  It's just that we tend to refuse to do anything that inconviences us.  We need more emphasis on sexual education and birth control to stabilize the population, and politicies to mimize pollution and protect the remaining natural environments.

Both of them are important.They have various habitats,ecosystem etc but that doesnt mean one is more important than the other.Extinction of a single species can lead to imbalance in the food chain and other species may start dying as a result.\n\nSo every living creature is important in the ecosystem.

I don't really think they're essential to the global eco-system. If you could magically turn all deserts into plains or something, there are certain animals that you would drive to extinction, but I don't think the Earth would suffer because of it..... BUT humans would then populate vast areas (like the Sahara) that were previously uninhabitable, and pollute the Earth even more... so if you look at it that way, they're important because they limit human expansion.
