Preferred term

nature conservancy  

Definition

  • The term nature conservancy reveals the particular way that society relates to “nature,” or what is thought of as the physical and natural environment that surrounds and hosts human activities and life on earth. The relationship between early societies and the natural environment was good, as societies made use of natural resources without causing large-scale depletion.
