Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preservation refers to maintaining resources in their present condition. This can include natural resources, cultural heritage sites, or historical monuments. The goal is to protect these resources from damage or destruction and to ensure that they are available for future generations. Sustainable use and management of natural resources (Choice A) focuses on using resources in a way that does not deplete them and can work hand in hand with preservation efforts. Invention and diffusion of new agricultural practices (Choice C) and breeding programs to rebuild endangered species (Choice D) are related to conservation efforts, which focus on actively managing and improving the condition of resources. Recycling natural resources (Choice E) is a method of reducing waste and preserving resources, but not necessarily the same as preservation as it involves a process of adaptation rather than preservation.
