Conservation, Development, Cultures & Religions

Conservation refers to the careful care, management, and maintenance of a natural resource to prevent its disappearance in the public interest and with a view to its sustainable social and economic use, and encompasses types such as: environmental conservation (preservation of natural resources, like forests, wildlife, water, minerals, coal, oil, and natural gas ), animal conservation (preservation and protection of animals, plants, and their habitats), marine conservation (protection of ocean ecosystems, species and habitats and reduction of human activities that harm the ocean), and human conservation (connection between people and the environment, as well as the actions people take to protect it). Overexploitation of natural resources leads to a wide range of negative impacts, including resource depletion, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, land degradation, water shortages, damage to ecosystem functions and increased global warming, which have significant consequences for the economy, health and social well-being.

Development: focuses on understanding and addressing economic challenges and opportunities, aiming to promote sustainable economic growth and improve living standards, and encompasses types such as: economic development (related to wealth and financial growth), social development (focused on people’s well-being and quality of life), environmental development (concerning the sustainability and quality of the natural environment), Travel development: (encompassing various aspects such as Travel infrastructure, tourism products and the overall traveler experience, while taking into account its economic, social and environmental impacts) and political development (relating to the political systems and freedoms within a nation). A lack of development in a country leads to widespread poverty, poor infrastructure, limited access to education and healthcare, and increased vulnerability to conflict and environmental degradation.

Culture and Religion considerably shape development by providing a framework to understand the world, by promoting a feeling of belonging and identity, social cohesion and cooperation within communities, by shaping values, beliefs and norms that influence social behaviour and interactions, economic development such as investment, entrepreneurs, creativity and innovation, tourism, heritage, traditions and expressions artistic.
