Most people think of conservation in terms of Earth’s resources and natural wonders. For over a century, people have tried to protect those resources by limiting the extent to which they are settled, mined, or harvested. Forest preserves and national parks represent conservation, as do attempts to protect endangered species. In other words, major efforts have focused on preservation. Sustainability supports preservation, but it adds a new 21st Century twist to the concept.
