• To support life by supporting ecological balance.
• To ensure that the future generations will be able to access the resources.

It is not mandatory that only the government and big companies conserve the environment. Everyone can participate and conserve nature which is a beautiful gift to us. Several ways are there by which we can conserve the environment like —
• Recycling : Try to buy reusable and biodegradable products as much as possible. Recycle everything if it is possible. It is necessary to reduce the consumption of water.
• Reduce the use of electricity : When your work is done with an electric appliance then turn it off. In this way, energy and money will be saved.
• Plant trees and make the planet green.
• Grow vegetables : In the market vegetables that are available are grown with chemicals and pesticides. So, it is better to plant vegetables and eat organic food.
• Use Rechargeable Batteries : As we know that batteries are dangerous for the environment so, it is better to use rechargeable batteries.
• To avoid littering it’s better to do composting.
• Don't smoke : Smoking is injurious to health and sometimes it is seen that people after smoking don't throw cigarettes in the dustbin but on the ground directly which is just pure littering.
• Reduce pollution.
• Aware people about the use of conservation of nature, environment, and energy.
There are also three essential words about the conservation of the environment that is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle or 3R.
Conservation of nature is very necessary, even scientists have also warned us about the mass extinctions in the near future. Several documentaries about nature show that resources are being wasted. Due to global warming temperature is increasing day by day, storms and the level of the sea are also increasing, freshwater glaciers are melting which threatens lives. We are connected to each other with natural resources. The natural world is facing an increasing threat from unsustainable practices and the challenge is how to preserve and conserve nature to achieve sustainable development.
World Nature Conservation Day also recognises that a healthy environment is the core reason for a stable and productive society. The sustainable practices are such that the well-being of the present and future generations can be secured. As responsible citizens, we must all practice sustainable living and bring about small changes in our everyday living, the way we shop, eat, travel and more so that we don’t damage our natural gifts any more. Let us come together and make an effort to contribute to the local, national, or global levels in conserving nature. It will not only benefit our present generation but also future generations.
Conserve the Nature, Conserve the Future!
