Question

Unlike conservation, what does preservation emphasize? carrying capacity saving natural resources renewing natural resources managing natural resources

Answer 1

Preservation emphasizes saving natural resources. When one takes a conservation attitude towards natural resource the idea is to use those resources in such a way that the use will be limited and others will have access to, as Locke put it, as much and as good. Preservation, on the other hand, is aimed at protecting natural resource from use. A conserved forest, for example, might be periodically harvested and replanted. A forest which is preserved, on the other hand, would never be harvested or put to use for any purpose.
