The following are ways of conserving our biosphere on a local scale.
Organisms may start taking care of themselves from the basic unit of life
(cell) that significantly affects their whole being. However, interaction
with other living and nonliving things require additional ways to take
care of biological organization.

1. Teach others about the importance of the environment and how they
can help save rainforests.
2. Restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees on land where forests
have been cut down.
3. Encourage people to live in a way that does not hurt the environment.
4. Establish parks to protect rainforests and wildlife.
5. Support activities that operate in ways that minimize damage to the
environment.
