Preservation vs. Conservation
Different or Same?
Backround
These two subjects have always been discussed by hunters and wildlife organizations. Some people think that these two are the same, but in reality they are very widely different. Conservation is the act of using something with moderation and carefulness. While Preservation is the act of keeping something untouched while keeping an eye on it or protecting it.
National Parks
Things such as this National Park are very protected, or preserved to keep wildlife and beauty for everyone to enjoy.
Resources
On the other hand, things such as resources are conserved to make sure we do not run out.
Hunters
Hunters and wildlife preservation enthusiasts always argue about these two concepts in different areas as well as species.
The Whooping Crane
Preservation
This majestic bird was once at the brink of extinction. Having only 22 birds in existence in the 1940's, to about 599 birds in the present. This is an example of preservation towards a dying species that had not been conserved and therefore almost went off the face of the earth.
