slide1. CONSERVATION OF ENVIRONMENT<br>
slide2. Introduction Conservation is defined as “judicious use, preservation and management of natural resources for the benefit of all life including mankind so that it may yield sustainable benefit to present generation while maintaining its potential to meet the needs and aspirations of future generations”<br>
slide3. Aims of conservation Maintain quality environment
Maintain continuous yield
Take care of evolution<br>
slide4. Objectives Maintain ecological processes and life support systems
Preserve genetic diversity
Sustainable utilization of species and ecosystems<br>
slide5. Sustainable development Brought by World Commission on Environment and Development (Brundtland Commission) in 1987 under report “Our Common Future”
Sustainable development is the “development that seeks to meet the needs and aspirations of the present generation without compromising the ability to meet those of future generation”<br>
slide6. Sustainable development includes-- Reduce excessive use of resources
Enhancing resource conservation
Scientific management
Planting more trees
Use more environment friendly material<br>
slide7. Use of renewable resources for sustainable development Hydropower
Solar energy
Wind power
Biomass fuel
Geothermal energy<br>
slide8. Strategies for conservation of environment Special Interest Conservation Policy
conserve resources which are in short supply and needs to be given more attention
Total Ecosystem Conservation Policy
aims at protecting and using the resources available in the whole ecosystem rather than making pick and choose principle of conservation<br>
