How to Protect Nature
recycling
Recycling preserves the environment by collecting, recycling
and using wastes in new products. Recycled materials include: scrap iron and
aluminum, glass, paper, wood, plastics, and paper. These materials are used as
a substitute for natural raw materials, such as: Petroleum, natural gas, coal, mineral
ores and trees, this method is known to be important in reducing the amount of
solid waste and garbage, as well as in reducing the pollution of air, water and
soil.

water conservation
Water is a scarce resource with only 1% of the water
available for human consumption. Since 2008, the EPA has estimated that per
capita consumption of water and sanitation is $500 per year. This waste can be
reduced by using water-saving equipment such as low-flow shower. It has been
estimated that a family can save 20,000 gallons of water annually using this
shower.
fire reduction
Reducing fires is one of the best ways to protect the
environment, especially with regard to forest fires. Reducing human-induced
fires is important in maintaining natural spaces, thereby preserving the
vegetation and many animals and birds.
protection of animals
Many animals are endangered because of poaching and killing,
so several national laws have been enacted to protect them from extinction,
such as the Endangered Species Act, created by the US, which prohibits illegal
retention, killing, or hunting endangered animals. Examples of endangered
animals include the American Eagle, the Horn of Africa, and black rhinoceros,
as well as several species of whales.
