Conservation ways and means to
conserve and preserve our planet
We share the earth with millions of other organisms. If we are not
careful, many of our activities make it difficult for them to
survive.
There are many things that we can do to make sure that other
species (kinds) of organisms have suitable habitats to live in.

Taking care of the environment, and helping other specie to

survive, is called conservation.
 Reducing Pollution
It’s very important to try not to pollute the
environment. For example:
★ We have stopped using CFCs - this will allow the
ozone layer to recover.
★ We should try to burn less fuel, so that less carbon
dioxide is added to the atmosphere.
★ We can bury rubbish in carefully constructed
landfill sites - as the rubbish rots, it produces a gas
called methane, which can be collected and used as
fuel

1. What is conservation?
2. Explain how the landfill
site shown in the diagram
helps wildlife to survive.
Answer
 Preserving Habitats

We must try not to destroy the habitats of plants and

animals. Each species has adaptations that help it to
live in a particular habitat. If we destroy the habitat,
for example by cutting down trees, then some
species may not have a suitable place to live. They
may become extinct.
 We can make nature reserves and other protected
areas, where people are not allowed to do any harm
to the environment or to the animals and plants that
live there.
