Posted November 29, 2007 12:00AM
Conservation Movement = "a political and social movement that seeks to protect natural resources including plant and animal species as well as their habitat for the future. Conservation differs from environmentalism [www.sundancechannel.com] in that it aims to preserve natural resources expressly for their continued sustainable use by humans.
"The early conservation movement included fisheries and wildlife management, water, soil conservation and sustainable forestry. The contemporary conservation movement has broadened from the early movement's emphasis on use of sustainable yield of natural resources and preservation of wilderness areas to include preservation of biodiversity. Some say the conservation movement is part of the broader and more far-reaching environmentalism [www.sundancechannel.com] movement, while others argue that they differ both in ideology and practice."

The Center for Biological Diversity and their expert staff of scientists recommend that funding should be provided to purchase and conserve private land in fire-prone areas.
