Jobs are also impacted. Tourism is a big source of income for many shoreline states. If the beach is eroded or polluted and dirty, the tourists will stay away. Commercial fishermen are hurt by loss of fish habitats and may be forced out of business. Many oil and shipping companies find it more expensive to do business Nature is also affected by what people do.
Conservation is the nature being protected by wise humans.
Conservation comes from two Latin words con, which means together and servare, which means to keep, or to guard. If humans didn't help protect nature some animals or plants might be destroyed.
