    The document discusses environmental conservation and its importance. Environmental conservation involves protecting natural resources through practices like reducing waste, recycling, and using renewable resources. It is important because human consumption is exceeding the rate at which nature can replenish resources. This causes issues like climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. The document provides tips for environmental conservation like careful management of natural resources, promoting sustainability, and reducing one's environmental impact.

    Environmental Conservation

    Environmental Conservation

    • Environmental conservation is a practice of protecting the natural


    environment on individual, organizational or govenmental levels,
    for the benefit of both the natural envirornment and humans.
    • It is the act of conserving or saving our natural resources through
    careful management, through: reducing your waste, saving trees,
    recycling, using renewable resources that don't deplete our natural
    resources.
    Why to conserve environment:-

    • Human Beings are consuming resources with out giving time for
    nature to replenish them
    Impact:-
    • Energy Use, Global Warming and Climate change:-
    *Fossil fuel burning , contribute
    towards CO2 production
    *In the last hundred years the Earth
    has warmed by about 0.5OC
    *increased concentrations of
    greenhouse gases
    Impacts of construction
    Resource depletion, waste and
    recycling:-

    • Consumption of resources faster than they can be replenished.


    Loss of habitat and ecosystem, damage to the landscape, potential
    subsidence problems and release of methane.
    Construction and Industrial waste causing Air, Water &
    Land pollution.
    HOW TO COPE WITH THE SITUATION:-
    • The natural environment shall be conserved in accordance with the following
    basic principles:

    • 1. The natural environment shall be conserved as a resource for all people in a


    way suitable for the public good, and shall be used so as to be sustained for the
    present and future generation;

    • 2. Conservation of the natural environment shall be harmonious and balanced


    with the use of national land;

    • 3. Natural ecology and natural scenery shall be conserved and managed so as to


    promote human activity, functionality of nature and ecological circulation;
    Life cycle management:-
    • Water saving measures

    • Education of Architects in Solar Energy and Environment

    • Use of materials and residues with a lower environmental impact

    How to cope with the situation:-
    • Promoting Active Transportation

    • Promoting Land Use Diversity


    •
    • Environmental Regulation
