The argument between conservationists and preservationists continues today. Remember that conservationists want to manage and use the natural resources that might be in public lands such as National Parks. Preservationists believe that nature should be protected and saved from use by people. Today, for example, there are disagreements about drilling in the Arctic because although we need the oil, it would upset the delicate balance of nature in an already threatened area. In two or three paragraphs tell whether you would consider yourself a conservationist or a preservationist and explain. You can use details from your reading in the lesson or from recent events to support your answer.

The answer is you can neither be fully supportive of the either. In fact the battle will go on or you may the arguments will perhaps get louder in the years to come.

Explanation: None of the nations wants to back from using a lucrative resources that they chance upon fully knowing the repercussions of climate change and various other damaging havoc that can impact the entire earth.

The greed in humans cannot be killed and perhaps we already are paying a heavy price for it. The conservationists believe the usage of the resources should be done in a responsible manner.

The supply need not be jeopardised for the future generations but no objections in continuing to use them though. Sustainability is the argument that they propound.

The preservationists are purists in the true sense they don't want to disturb mother nature and allow them to flourish in their pristine form and we continue to live in harmony with that.

The intrinsic value of the land and other resources  have to retained  and gained inspiration for its beauty and serenity. It is the theory that preservationists have stuck too for years.

Each is right in their own way, if we don't use the natural resources we won't be able to function as well as we do.

 If we don't preserve some of the natural resources and stick our head into every resource on the surface of the earth, there will be large destruction and extinction of flora and fauna.

Hence it would be right to say, that we need to rethink what we are going to do because in the next few years what we do will determine our future and there is no going back then.
