Conservation of natural resources involves the intelligent use and care of our resource. Why do we need to conserve
our resources?

A few thousand years ago, there were not many people living on the Earth. There were more than enough natural
resources for everyone. But in the last 200 years, the world population has increased rapidly. As the world
population increases, more natural resources are needed to support the population. The demand for natural resources
will become even greater as countries all over the world become more developed.

We have also invented many machines to help people do work and to make life more comfortable. A lot of fuel is
being used to provide energy to run all these machines.
We are using huge amounts of our natural resources so rapidly that the natural resources are in danger of being
depleted. Our Earth has limited supplies of non-renewable resources. They are running out quickly.

Even our renewable resources are in danger. The trees in forests are being destroyed too fast. There is just not
enough time for new trees to grow to replace the ones that are removed. As more land is needed for development of
towns or farms, more forests will be cleared.

A wide variety of wildlife lives in forests. When forests are destroyed, the wildlife in them is in danger of extinction.
Some wild animals are also becoming extinct because so many of them have been hunted and killed for profit.

Therefore, we need to conserve our natural resources to make them last as long as possible.

The Disappearing Honeybee

Do you run away when you hear a bee buzzing? Many people do. A bee sting hurts and some people are allergic to
bee venom. But did you know that bees are very important to humans? Honeybees do more than just make honey.
They fly around and pollinate flowers, plants, and trees. Our fruits, nuts, and vegetables rely on these pollinators.
One third of America's food supply is pollinated by the honeybee.

Have you seen or heard a honeybee lately? Bees are mysteriously disappearing in many parts of the world. Most
people don't know about this problem. It is called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Some North American
beekeepers lost 80% of their hives from 2006-2008. Bees in Italy and Australia are disappearing too.

The disappearance of the honeybee is a serious problem. Can you imagine never eating another blueberry? What
about almonds and cherries? Without honeybees food prices will skyrocket. The poorest people always suffer the
worst when there is a lack of food.

This problem affects other foods besides fresh produce. Imagine losing your favorite ice cream! Haagen Daaz is a
famous ice cream company. Many of their flavors rely on the hard working honey bee. In 2008 Haagen Daaz began
raising money for CCD. They also created a website called helpthehoneybee.com.
Donating money to research is the most important thing humans can do to save the honeybees. Scientists need
money to investigate the causes of Colony Collapse Disorder. Some scientists blame CCD on climate change. Others
think pesticides are killing the bees. Commercial bee migration may also cause CCD. Beekeepers transport their
hives from place to place in order to pollinate plants year round.
