Conservation

Aim: Find out what other people think what Conservation might mean.

Method:

1. Write down what I think conservation might mean.
2. Find six people and ask what it means to them.
3. Record their thoughts on a table and gather the information.
4. Discover the similarities and differences within the given information.
5. Once I've gathered all the information I will present this in my blog.
6. Include the Department Of Conservation at the end of my presentation.

My Understanding:

From what I think, Conservation means when people try to sustain the world and keep the environment green and healthy.

The Six Interviewed Students/ Teacher:

Conservation is about making sure that our world is sustainable. so that means using our resources and replenishing them. making sure that the lifeform on earth are protected and that they don't go extinct. Lifeform means both plants and living animals. Making sure that our world around us is not polluted, not killing things, not polluting things and looking after our world. -Mr. Stock

Conservation is maintaining the earth and each living animal including plants. -Erica

Conservation is ensuring the sustainability of our action for the environment. -Nathan

I think it’s about sustainability and saving the nation. -Meagan

I think conservation is a way to preserve and control a certain thing so they last for a long period of time. -Zac

I think conservation where you don't waste things like you don't drink half of the water and pour the rest out. -Joel

Similarities: From what I recorded, everyone has said that conservation is all about maintaining plants, earth, and animals keeping them alive and not polluting the oceans. The similarity within their replies, conservation to them is maintaining the earth's lifecycle and plants/animals.

Differences: Some mentioned plants while some only included the nation and animals, Zac and Joel's thoughts were different from the rest as they talked about controlling a certain thing and spilling the contents of a half-full glass of water, They didn't mention anything about maintaining the earth and living plants/animals, their thoughts of 'Conservation' is different from the other's understanding.
