PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT Nowadays protection of the environment is very important as the world is moving into a new era without considering any of the major problems of pollution with rapid industrialization. The best way to protect the environment is conservation. Conservation is the philosophy and policy of managing the environment to assure adequate supplies of natural resources for future as well as present generations.

Today, protection of the environment should be concerned with a large number of major global issues. Each of these affects the others, and all are basic to human survival. Although not strictly conservation issues, population growth and economic factors underlie virtually all conservation problems.
