conservation
Significado: The protection, preservation, and careful management of natural resources, wildlife, and the environment.
Conservation operates at multiple scales, from protecting individual species to managing entire landscapes and marine areas. It also applies to cultural heritage, architecture, and energy. In British English, conservation areas are designated zones where buildings and landscapes have special legal protection. The term implies active stewardship rather than simply leaving nature untouched.
