Conservation vs. Preservation

In his speech, Conservation as a National Duty, Theodore Roosevelt asserts his passion for conservation and preservation onto a group of governors, statesmen, and conservationists. Throughout his message, he details several reasons for the nation to stop wasting natural resources and begin conserving them. He also states that the question of the conservation and use of the great fundamental sources of wealth, of this nation is second only to the question of morality.

Ecosystems can be restored by retaining and restoring the ecological sustainability of watersheds, forests, and rangelands for present and future generations.

United States has a lot of astounding natural attractions. But some of them are losing their rare beauty. Those attractions that are losing their beauty are in great need of help. Some natural attractions in the United States that are in the greatest need of conserving are the Everglades, Chesapeake Bay, Chihuahuan Desert, and the Northern Great Plains. The main reason why these places are in danger are because of humans.

Decisions regarding environmental problems require both knowledge and values. Placing value on specific issues can be sorted into four categories of justification: utilitarian, ecological, aesthetic and moral. California Blue focuses on the interplay of environmental issues and ethics emphasizing the conflict between industry and species preservation. Timber cutting in the Northwest United States is a mainstay of the economy. Although clear cutting is not as environmentally sensitive as selective harvesting and redwood cutting, some is essential to America's continued growth and prosperity. To ban timber operations and to throw people out of work, all to preserve an endangered blue butterfly, is to test the limits and logic of ecological priorities. The national policy of preserving endangered species serves the purpose of promoting biological diversity, which if not followed might threaten the ecosystem. This national policy of species preservation is a matter of social policy balanced with the competing interests of the local economy and human needs. Under the utilitarian approach one must balance the benefits of species preservation with the detriment of stopping human activity which threatens that species or the environment in which the

The wilderness and forests need to be saved for the future generations, and a sort of “wilderness bank” needs to be formed in order to keep the reality of the wilderness alive and keep mankind grounded to the earth.

Risk management or more know as risk assessments by Dimensions are about identifying risks and finding the most suitable way of making them as safe as possible for the individual service users, service user and in

The purpose of risk assessment is not to remove risks, but to take reasonable steps to reduce them. The process involves looking at the risk, and considering what can be done to make it less likely that the risk will develop into a reality. This can be done through implementing policies and codes of practice, acting in individual’s best interests, fostering culture of openness and support being consistent, maintaining professional boundaries and following systems for raising concerns.

Environmentalism has always been two sided. Nature versus urban. locals versus national. Frequently, large tracts of public and federal land are bought and developed by industry. Pristine wilderness turned to bustling epicenters of human activity, all in the name of progress and economic growth. This tale of preserving natural wilderness is one that begins with John Muir, an advocate against the taming of Yosemite national park and the Hetch-Hetchy reservoir, while the head of the US Forest Service, Gifford Pinchot, insisted on the reservoir to supply the city of San Francisco with water. This timeless epic of conservation or preservation brings us to the Jumbo Valley, a vast expanse of uninhabited, pristine wilderness home to diverse

Question 3: Mainstream environmentalists were correct to stop Pacific Lumber from ravaging it’s timberland. Prior business practices provided ecosystem shelter for endangered species and protected virgin forest from being logged. Changes to federal

With all the good the Arctic National Wildlife refuge has to offer as a safe haven for endangered animals and plant life, comes the burden of sitting on an oil reserve. As noted earlier in 1980, under President Carter, the protected area was doubled. However, the oil industry lobbies succeeded in having the U.S. Senate refuse to designate the critically important Costal Plain as wilderness. Instead, Section 1002 of the Alaskan National Interest Lands Conservation Act legislation directed the Department of Interior

4.3: To carry out a risk assessment first of all you need to identify the hazards, then decide who might be harmed and how. Then evaluate the risks and decide on precaution and then record your findings and implement on them. After this is done review your assessment and update if necessary.

These sites are conserved to protect nature’s beauty and places of value to the people who are natives of the land. Today’s problem comes from the federal government proposing significant budget cuts to the NPS. If the government continues with this plan, Americans will lose the chance to experience untouched nature. Even though conserving these parks, monuments, and historical sites are not a priority in the government’s eyes, investing in the NPS should be a priority because the national monuments protect the meaning and value of the land and people are paying lots of money to keep the parks protected.

“Parks and Protected Areas,” a section of chapter 12 (“Forests, Forest Management, and Protected Areas”) in Environment: The Science Behind the Stories, shows why parks and reserves have been created, the history of them, what they can do for the environment, and various other topics pertaining to parks and reserves. As a Community Recreation major minoring in Nature Tourism, parks and reserves are an essential part of my life, and provide spaces for hands on learning about policy, outdoor recreation, and the seven basic principles of Leave No Trace that outdoor enthusiasts abide by. Although the 36 state parks and 1 national park in Maine are amazing spaces for recreation students, and everyone in general, are amazingly beautiful spaces to learn and enjoy, having a new national park alongside one of the most famous mountains in New England could solve numerous problems in Northern Maine, and provide an additional space for recreational areas open to the public (StateParks.com, 2015).

Risk management is the term applied to a logical and systematic method of establishing the context, identifying, analyzing, evaluating, treating, monitoring and communicating risks associated with any activity, function or process in a way that will enable organizations to minimize losses and maximize opportunities. (Lecture notes)Risk Management is also described as 'all the things you need to do to make the future sufficiently certain'. (The NZ Society for Risk Management, 2001)

Why do societies, cultures, and countries preserve historical landmarks or buildings and what constitutes a building important enough for preservation? Is it to preserve a culture or is it to remember those that came before the present generation? One can define preservation as the restoration of a landmark or building in the present era to its original historical state. In Historic Preservation: Caring for Our Expanding Legacy author Michael A. Tomlan gives the example of David E. Finley’s attempts to get the eighteenth-century mansion the “Hampton” to be accepted as a historical site by the National Park Service. With Finley’s efforts to have this mansion preserved, he also proposed to the National Park Service to have the former home
