The issue of conservation has been discussed‚ dissected‚ and debated over for centuries by people who understand that endlessly destroying habitats and over-hunting species inevitably leads to permanent damage that affects everyone. Sure‚ there have been major milestones in the efforts to stabilize natural habitats such as Theodore Roosevelt’s actions in creating national parks and protecting 230 million acres of land‚ but it will have to take a worldwide effort in order to secure the biosphere (“Theodore

Agency for Development and Cooperation “Over 60% of all ecosystems on the globe are overexploited and have entered into a degradation cycle with often unknown consequences” (2004). Humans can offer some assistance in the matter by preservation and conservation of our natural resources. The ecosystem preservation can be best defined as the continued and uninterrupted natural cycle of a particular ecosystem by mankind. Even the slightest interruption by mankind on an ecosystem could easily bring an end

I used 14 pennies; 7 pennies in 1 row and the other 7 pennies in a row spaced farther apart than the first row of pennies. First‚ I interviewed my 4-year-old daughter; I asked her if there are the same amounts of pennies in both rows. She did not ask me anything she just began to count. After she counted both lines‚ she told me they were the same amount in both lines. I was very surprised by her action and response.
