Summary

INTRODUCTION:

Environmental conservation is the protection, preservation and management of natural environments and the ecological communities that inhabit them. This also includes the management of human use of natural resources for sustainable social and economic utilization. We are living in the century where environmental pressures such as global warming, ozone depletion, pollution, deforestation, climate change, over exploitation of natural resources, altered land use and loss of biodiversity all coincide with a growing population that requires to have basic needs met. Environmental conservation, which crosses traditional academic disciplinary boundaries is best suited to address the complex nature of these environmental problems both at the global-scale and local levels. As environmental concerns become more pressing, there is an increasing need to understand how we can effectively conserve species, habitats and ecology. This because healthy ecosystems clean water, purify air, maintain soils, regulate the climate, recycle nutrients and provide food, provide raw materials and resources and sustain our economies.
