ECOSYSTEMS
CONSERVATION

• Sustainable resource: one which is produced as rapidly as it

is removed from the environment so that it does not run out
• Some resources can be conserved and managed sustainably,
limited to forests and fish stocks.
1. Forests can be conserved using education, protected areas,
quotas and replanting.
2. Fish stocks can be conserved using education, closed seasons,
protected areas, controlled net types and mesh size, quotas
and monitoring.
ENDANGERED
SPECIES:

• How they become endangered:

climate change, habitat
destruction, hunting, pollution
and introduced species
• If the population size drops,
variation decreases
• Endangered species can be
conserved by monitoring and
protecting species and habitats,
education, captive breeding
programmes, and seed banks
