The
biggest threat to the Northern spotted owl is loss of old growth
forest habitat, as a result of logging and forest fragmentation.
These threats are made even greater by natural disasters, such as
fire, volcanic eruptions and wind storms. |
Conservation is talked about every day, and virtually everyone understands what conservation is. Conservation is defined in the dictionary as preservation, especially of natural resources. All of the earth's natural resources are in need of protection. A report from the global conservation organization, WWF, has suggested that humans have destroyed more than 30 percent of the natural world since 1970. With the knowledge of why conservation is important we may be able to stop this from happening. The total concept of conservation summed up in one word: caring. Conservation is not just preserving trees, habitats, waterways or wild life. It's maintaining and protecting life as it was meant to be. It does not hinder progress but instead lays a stable foundation to build a stronger future. Learn more about the issues of conservation at the links below. Global issues
