A brief definition of conservation is the care and protection of Earth’s resources, including air, minerals, plants, soil, water, and wildlife, so they can last for future generations. However, the concept of conservation is complex. That’s why we’ve provided a variety of learning activities to help students learn more about the topic as a starting point.
Explore conservation with labs and activities
