Conservation The early conservation movement included fisheries and wildlife management, water, soil conservation and sustainable forestry. The contemporary conservation movement has broadened from the early movement's emphasis on use of sustainable yield of natural resources and preservation of wilderness areas to include preservation of biodiversity. Some say the conservation movement is part of the broader and more far-reaching environmental movement, while others argue that they differ both in ideology and practice.
The Wildlife
Conservation Society, headquartered at the world famous Bronx Zoo,
is one of the largest international conservation organizations in the
world.
"The Wildlife Conservation Society
believes that it is not too late to save wildlife and wild places...
that some of the greatest work in field conservation is yet to come."

The mission of the Environmental Protection Agency is to protect human health and the environment. Since 1970, EPA has been working for a cleaner, healthier environment for the American people.
EPA employs 17,000 people
across the country, including our headquarters offices in
Washington, DC, 10 regional offices, and more than a dozen labs. Our
staff are highly educated and technically trained; more than half
are engineers, scientists, and policy analysts. In addition, a large
number of employees are legal, public affairs, financial,
information management and computer specialists. EPA is led by the
Administrator, who is appointed by the President of the United
States.
With the mission of “Helping People Help the Land,” the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides products and services that enable people to be good stewards of the nation’s soil, water, and related natural resources on non-federal lands. With their help, people are better able to conserve, maintain, or improve their natural resources. With their technical and financial assistance, land managers and communities take a comprehensive approach to the use and protection of natural resources in rural, suburban, urban, and developing areas.
Since the 1930's, NRCS has worked with conservation districts and others throughout the U.S. to help landowners, as well as Federal, State, Tribal, and local governments and community groups. NRCS has six mission goals: high quality, productive soils; clean and abundant water; healthy plant and animal communities; clean air; an adequate energy supply; and working farms and ranchlands.
The World Conservation Union supports and develops cutting-edge
conservation science; implements this research in field projects around
the world; and then links both research and results to local, national,
regional and global policy by convening dialogues between governments,
civil society and the private sector. World Wildlife Fund's mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by conserving the world's biological diversity, ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.
