ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

Environmental conservation refers to the careful use and protection of the environment from over exploitation and destruction.

Ways of Environmental Conservation

a)      Setting up of institutions and organizations for coordinating matters related to environment and conservations.

e.g   UNEP-United Nations Environment Programmes

        NEMC –National Environment Management and Conservation.

b)     Education

Both formal and informal education must be subjected to people, through mass media, schools and Universities aiming at demolishing the forces of environmental degradation.

c)      Research

Should be carried out locally and globally for management and conservation of the environment.

d)     Recycling factories

Garbage make pollution on land and water hence once materials are recycled reduce environmental degradation e.g In Dar es Salaam plastic water bottles are collected and sold for recycling.

e)      Land Rehabilitation

Especially after quarrying and mining activities have taken place, land should be rehabilitated.
