| − | The '''conservationism''', also known as '''nature conservation''', is a political, environmental, and social movement that seeks to manage and protect [[natural resource]]s, including animal, fungus, and plant species as well as their habitat for the future. Conservationists are concerned with leaving the environment in a better state than the condition they found it in.<ref>http://www.mackinac.org/9852</ref>

| − | While most people supports protection of wildlife and sensitive nature areas, it is noticeable that many [[billionaires]] are highly passionate about the subject. The [[deep politics]] aspect of it comes in with their plans for very extensive conservation areas - essentially without people - and the methods they are willing to use to achieve that goal.

| − | ==History==
| |
| − | The early conservation movement evolved out of necessity to maintain natural resources such as [[fisheries]], [[wildlife management]], [[water]], [[soil]], as well as [[conservation (ethic)|conservation]] and [[sustainable forestry]]. The contemporary conservation movement has broadened from the early movement's emphasis on use of sustainable yield of natural resources and preservation of [[wilderness]] areas to include preservation of [[biodiversity]]. Some say the conservation movement is part of the broader and more far-reaching [[environmental movement]], while others argue that they differ both in ideology and practice.
