Conservation in the life sciences, is action
taken to protect and preserve the natural
world, usually from pollution,
overexploitation, and other harmful features
of human activity. The late 1980s saw a great
increase in public concern for the
environment, with membership of conservation
groups, such as Friends of the Earth, the
Sierra Club, and the Nature Conservancy
rising sharply.
