Introduction to Preservation, Conservation and Restoration of Ecosystem

We have examined human activities that can have adverse effects on the environment.
However, this does not mean that human activities always have a negative impact on the environment.
In managing development, measures of conservation, preservation and restoration of ecosystems need to be taken to ensure sustainable development.

Necessity in the Preservation, Conservation and Restoration of an Ecosystem

Ecosystem Preservation

Ecosystem preservation is an effort to protect the components in an ecosystem in order to maintain its natural state.
One of the conservation measures is to gazette the forest reserve to maintain the natural beauty of its flora and fauna.
The forest reserve is protected from any development activities.
90% of the upper part of the Belum Forest has not been explored and is a place of research.

Ecosystem Conservation

Ecosystem conservation means the effort to restore environmental resources such as water, forests, energy, air, minerals and others that have been used without letting those resources become extinct.
Conservation strategies are carried out to ensure that the endangered ecosystem components can be saved.
There are two types of conservation strategies, namely in situ conservation and ex situ conservation.
- In situ conservation maintains wildlife species in their original habitats such as natural parks and marine parks.
- Ex-situ conservation preserves wildlife species outside of their original habitats such as zoos and botanical gardens.
