Conservation is the sensible use and protection of natural resources including plants, animals, mineral 
deposits, soils, clean water, clean air, and fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas to ensure 
an adequate supply for future generations.

resource is one that may be replaced over time by natural processes, such as fish populations or natural 
vegetation, or is inexhaustible, such as solar energy. The goal of renewable resource conservation is to

are those in limited supply that cannot be replaced or can be replaced only over extremely long periods
