    Bridger Teton

    Conservation is the use and exploitation of the land in a sustainable way, or one might say to manage. Preservation is the protection of the land that limits use, in order to maintain a pristine condition or to protect. After my research, I do believe that humans can actually harvest forest resources in an environmentally friendly way. Does that mean we should? In my opinion, I think that each situation is different, based on the use of the land and what the condition of the land is that is trying to be used. In the case of the Bridger Teton National forest, I do feel that it should be left in its natural state. For so many years this land has been untouched, untamed and undiscovered. To take land of this nature for drilling, building roads and pipelines are not worth it. To the people of Wyoming it is more valuable than what you can get out of it from oil and gas. New technology should allow other ways to give us freedom for foreign oil. I really thought it was odd that the politicians were already calling “Management Area 71” which does not scream environmentally friendly.…

    Preservation is maintaining the earth keeping it in its original condition. Some areas of the Earth are, so far, untouched by humans. This is due to the concern that mankind is encroaching onto the environment at such a rate that many untamed landscapes are being given over to farming, industry, housing, tourism and other human developments, and that we our losing too much of what is 'natural'.…

    Conservation vs. Preservation

    I am appealing to you as a conservationist. I believe that the natural resources of the forest can be of great help to us. As we experience this oil and gas crisis in the US, we are forced to import oil from foreign countries. Thus causing the cost of gas to skyrocket. If we are allowed to develop parts the forest for oil and gas, it will help to lower the cost of gas. “The oil and gas boom is also affecting the quality of life in small towns, causing spikes in the housing market.” (“Wyoming Outdoor Council” 2009-2013). These developments will help also to increase revenue for the US.…

    Conservation vs. Preservation

    Checkpoint: Conserve and Preserve Tania Torres After make a research about the meaning of terms preservation and conservation I found a lots of debates to the respect. After my research I can define conservation like the wise use of the natural resources maintaining the sustainability of them for future generations. The term preservation can be define as do not use the natural resources and maintain them as natural as possible. In other words avoid the human interference with the natural resources, to keep them naturals. Those terms create a great debate. For some, the humans cannot harvest forest natural resources in an environmental friendly way, but I believe that it is possible. I think that actually we have a lot of new technology that can be used to conserve our human resources and maintain the sustainability. I believe we could have the better of the two worlds. Sometimes the end justified the means. For example although it is great that actually we can have a public land that has remained virtually untouched by human presence, but I think that the proposed use for this land can beneficial for much more people than hisactual use. I think that how the speaker said in the video, actually energy companies have a lot of new environmental friendly technology that allow them to use the resources wisely and conserve the land.

    The Great Debate: Conservation vs. Preservation

    Preservation and conservation – these two words strive toward the same purpose using different methods. However, to understand each methodology, people need to understand the definition of the words. Preservation means maintaining natural resources by not using them and preventing human interference as much as possible. Alternatively, conservation allows a controlled usage of natural resources while maintaining the sustainability of those resources for future generations. People frequently use the words interchangeably, and this causes misunderstandings to occur. The usage of both practices ultimately provides the best solution for Earth’s precious resources.…

    Ethical Enviromental Issues

    There are many environmental issues that need to be taken care of as soon as possible. One issue would have to be deforestation. For years we as humans have depended on trees as a resource to our everyday life. We have built homes, paper, and many other products from this precious resource. If the forest provided us with low cost homes and so many good resources, why is it an ethical issue or problem? “ This is a problem because deforestation destroys not only forests but also reduces the biodiversity, which means a reduction in the amount, as well as variation of, living things which can cause havoc…

    Land Ethics

    Preservation ethic is the belief that humans should protect the environment in a pristine, unaltered state. This environmental philosophy was made popular by John Muir who believed that nature should be treated with the same respect we give to cathedrals, and argued that nature deserved protection for its own inherent value. Conservation ethic is the belief that people should put natural resources to use but that we have the responsibility to manage them wisely, which promotes the prudent, efficient, and sustainable extraction and use of natural resources for the benefit of present and future generations. This philosophy was made popular by Gifford Pinchot.…
