Q:
In a 700 to 1,050-word paper, compare and contrast the practices of preservation and conservation as they relate to the maintenance of ecosystems. Discuss the concept of “natural regulation." Use examples of these practices from your local area (e.g., natural swings in sizes of animal populations, natural occurrence of grassland and forest fires, and natural succession of fallow farmland and waterways). Use a minimum of two references. Copies of the references upon which the paper is based should be attached.

A con of preservation would be in the unchecked wildlife growth in an area. In Marietta, Ohio the sheriffs department has instituted an urban deer management program to battle the increased deer population which is attributed to the 200 acre Camp Hervida, a woodland area that is used as a 4-H camp and is strictly monitored by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources in an ongoing preservation effort. In my opinion preservation is strictly the concern with the survival of the species within an ecosystem and not the diversity of the species. Ecosystem conservation is the effort to ensure the survivability of the most diverse population a species as possible. When there is a low genetic diversity in an ecosystem of any particular flora or fauna, then it becomes more likely that the species will become endangered through natural events. This mentality in and of itself is an excellent way to ensure the survivability of any particular flora or fauna. Consider the potential for population bottleneck of a species. Popu ...

To avoid it a policy termed as the natural regulation was adopted. To conserve and preserve the natural ecosystem a lot of steps have been taken an natural regulation is one of them. Natural regulation is a policy of non-interference by humans in the affairs of non-human populations. The policy of Natural regulation was adopted by U.S. National Parks in the year of 1972 - 1978. Though Natural regulation is a great policy in theory to abide by it and follow it is practically very difficult. The idea of natural regulation is difficult to put into practice when the concerns of any humans enter into the equation. The reason being humans who have occupation like farming, mining, exploration or are scientists need to interact with nature and thus, have to get in touch with nature. Humans use land for a variety of purposes, continuity no longer exists between areas of major ecological significance. The idea of “vignettes” of “primitive America” is akin to ...
