Abstract

Protecting the environment of the planet Earth is the prime goal of mankind. The domain of protection of natural resources encompasses two major verticals, namely, conservation and preservation. Conservation is the sustainable use and management of natural resources which include flora, fauna, air, water, earth deposits, etc. Conservation of natural resources primarily focuses on the needs and interests of human beings, for example, biological, economic, cultural and aesthetic values these resources possess. The mangrove ecosystem, for example, contains a wide spectrum of flora and fauna, which provides timber, fuel wood, honey, wax, fishes, medicinal ingredients, etc. The seed of conservation germinates for developing a better future. Preservation, on the contrary, is an attempt to maintain the existing condition of the environment of a particular ecosystem or habitat that is mostly in a wilderness condition. The essence of preservation spreads from the fact that mankind is encroaching the natural habitats at such a rate that many untouched landscapes are now getting sacrificed for industrial development, urban development, farming, tourism, aquaculture, etc. Strong lobbies of preservationists support protection of natural reservoir with priority and give less importance to the ecosystem services of natural resources (flora, fauna, etc.) to mankind.
