CONSERVATION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT
Full Definition of CONSERVATIO
N
1.: a careful preservation and
protection of something;especially :
planned management of a natural resource to prevent exploitation, destruction, or
neglect
2: the preservation of a
physical quantity during transformations or reactions
Origin of CONSERVATION
Middle English, from Middle French, from
Latin conservation-, conservatio, from conservare
First Known Use: 14th century
: the protection of animals, plants, and natural resources
: the careful use of natural resources (such as trees, oil, etc.) to prevent them from being lost
or wasted: the things that are done to keep
works of art or things of historical importance in good
condition
WHY IS CONSERVATION
IMPORTANT
As a species ourselves, we need to maintain the
environment around us in order to keep the world as we know it alive. Forests provide us with oxygen, while oceans and land give us food. If these
eco systems are destroyed, they will be gone forever.
Animals and plants interact and depend on each other in many ways.
Scientists are discovering new species all the time and produce
possible cures for cancer and other diseases on the back of years and
years of research. Mankind has not yet documented every plant in the world and yet our tropical forests are being culled further every day.
Importance of Conservation
Why Is Population Conservation Important? • Species have an inherent
right to exist. • Future generations of humans
should be able to enjoy all species. •
• Preserve genetic variation in populations. • Preserve food webs and community
structure. • Preserve ecosystem services: nutrient
recycling, waste decomposition, water
purification.
Philippine Project Conserning…
Focusing on the Philippine Eagle for the conservation of nature
The Philippine Eagle Foundation is a private, non-stock, non-profit organization
dedicated to saving the endangered Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) and
its rainforest habitat. Organized in 1987,
it had before that time been operating as a project undertaking research,
rehabilitation, and captive breeding. Staffed by highly
trained and dedicated personnel, it has today
evolved into the country’s premiere organization for the
conservation of raptors.
OUR MISSION
The Philippine Eagle Foundation firmly believes that the fate of our
vanishing Philippine Eagle, the health of our environment, and the quality of Philippine life are
inextricably linked. We are therefore committed to promote
the survival of the Philippine Eagle, the biodiversity it
represents, and the sustainable use of our forest resources for
future generations to enjoy
BRIEF HISTORY
In 1965, Dr. Dioscoro Rabor, a noted Filipino scientist alerted the
world of the bird’s endangered status. Ignored by most of his
compatriots, he was able to elicit the support of the famous aviator, Charles A. Lindbergh who helped champion the cause. In 1969, the
Monkey-Eating Eagle Conservation Program was established.Interest
in pursuing the program soon diminished with the
death of Charles Lindbergh. During this period, work on the eagle was sustained through the initiatives of Peace Corps
volunteers in cooperation with the Philippine government’s Parks and Wildlife Office.In
1977, one of the Peace Corps volunteers, Robert S. Kennedy returned to the Philippines to
study the eagle further.
He also successfully lobbied for the Office of the President to change the species’ name from “Monkey-eating Eagle” to its
present name, the Philippine Eagle.In 1987, the project started operating as a private institution. Financial constraints did not hinder the staff from pursuing its mission. They waived their salaries for over a year in order to feed the eagles,
ensure that fieldwork continued and carry on the great mission of saving the
magnificent bird.
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR)
--is the primary agency responsible for the conservation, management,
development, and proper use of the country's environment and natural resources. Through the
GREAT Women Project, the DENR will support integration of
environment management and sustainability measures in enterprise development.
waste management
Definition----
The collection, transportation, and disposal of garbage, sewage, and other waste products. Waste
management encompasses management of all processes and resources for proper handling of
waste materials, from maintenance of waste transport trucks and dumping facilities to
compliance with health codes and environmental regulations.
Waste management is the "generation, prevention,
characterization, monitoring, treatment, handling, reuse and
residual disposition of solid wastes". There are various types of
solid waste including municipal (residential, institutional,
commercial), agricultural, and special (health care, household
hazardous wastes, sewage sludge).The term usually relates to
materials produced
by human activity, and the process is generally
undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the
environment or aesthetics.
