Understanding

Forest conservation is a practice of protecting and preserving forest ecosystems for the long-term benefit of all living organisms. It involves a variety of activities, such as reducing human-caused environmental degradation, developing sustainable management policies, and promoting awareness and stewardship of forest resources. Through conservation efforts, forests can continue to provide important environmental services, including water, air, and wildlife habitat, as well as timber and other resources. Conservation also helps reduce the risk of climate change by helping to absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ultimately, the aim of forest conservation is to protect, sustain, and enhance the health and well-being of forest ecosystems for present and future generations.
