Conservation
The protection of animals, plants, and natural places to keep them safe for the future.
What is it?
Conservation means taking care of nature. It includes protecting endangered species, preserving habitats, and reducing pollution. The Chacoan peccary is endangered because its habitat in the Gran Chaco is being destroyed by farming and logging. Conservation efforts include creating protected areas and stopping illegal hunting. You learned that the Chacoan peccary was thought extinct until rediscovered in the 1970s, which shows how important conservation can be. The Rhinoceros Hornbill is also threatened by habitat loss and poaching, making conservation of rainforests crucial. The Magnificent Ground Pigeon is not currently endangered, but its rainforest habitat is being cut down for farms and roads, so conservation is important to keep it safe. The Bateleur is endangered due to habitat loss, hunting, and poisoning, and conservation efforts are needed to protect it. The Reeves's Pheasant is also threatened by habitat loss, hunting, and poisoning, and conservation is needed. The Aldabra tortoise is critically endangered, with only about 100,000 to 150,000 left in the wild. Conservation efforts include protecting its habitat on the Aldabra Atoll. The Galapagos tortoise is endangered due to habitat loss and environmental changes, and conservation programs help protect its island home.
Why it matters

保护动物、植物和自然场所，以确保它们未来的安全。
这是什么？
保护意味着照顾自然。它包括保护濒危物种、保护栖息地和减少污染。查科野猪因其在大查科的栖息地因农业和伐木而遭到破坏而濒危。保护工作包括建立保护区和停止非法狩猎。你了解到查科野猪曾被认为已灭绝，直到20世纪70年代被重新发现，这表明保护有多么重要。犀鸟也受到栖息地丧失和偷猎的威胁，因此保护雨林至关重要。壮丽地鸽目前并非濒危，但其雨林栖息地正被砍伐用于农场和道路，因此保护对于确保其安全很重要。短尾雕因栖息地丧失、狩猎和中毒而濒危，需要保护努力。白颈长尾雉也受到栖息地丧失、狩猎和中毒的威胁，需要保护。亚达伯拉象龟极度濒危，野外仅剩约10万到15万只。保护工作包括保护其在亚达伯拉环礁的栖息地。加拉帕戈斯象龟因栖息地丧失和环境变化而濒危，保护项目帮助保护其岛屿家园。
为什么重要
保护有助于拯救物种免于灭绝，并保持生态系统健康。每个人都可以通过学习自然和做出保护环境的选择来提供帮助。
