Unlike conservation, what does preservation emphasize?

  1. Utilization of natural resources

  2. Management of wildlife populations

  3. Saving natural resources

  4. Economic use of forests

The correct answer is: Saving natural resources

Preservation is a philosophy which emphasizes protecting natural resources for their own sake and not for the use by humans. The other options mentioned in this question either involve the use or management of natural resources for human purposes, which is not the focus of preservation. Option A involves the utilization of natural resources for human purposes, option B involves the management of wildlife populations for human benefits, and option D involves the economic use of forests for human profit. Thus, option C is the correct answer as it highlights the protection and saving of natural resources without any human agenda.
