Digital Desk: Every year, on July 28, people worldwide mark World Nature Conservation Day. The day serves as a reminder that a stable and healthy society depends on a healthy environment.

Air, minerals, plants, soil, water, and wildlife are natural resources on Earth. Care and protection of these resources are considered conservation to guarantee their preservation for future generations. It includes safeguarding genetic variety, ecosystem diversity, species diversity, and environmental services like nitrogen cycling.

While both conservation and preservation aim to protect nature, they approach it differently. Conservation is concerned with the long-term use of natural resources by humans for activities such as hunting, logging, and mining. The preservation of nature and its resources is crucial for the following reasons:

1| To promote ecological balance to sustain life.

2| Ensuring future generations have access to resources to safeguard biodiversity

3| To ensure the human race's survival

 It causes species from various environments to mix and interact unexpectedly. As human populations and agricultural land clearance have increased, so have transition zones between distinct ecosystems. 

Because of these increased interactions, illnesses such as coronavirus have the potential to cross species boundaries.
