🇬🇧🇪🇸 conservation - conservación : English Lesson

Meaning of "conservation" ("conservación"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

Conservation means taking care of nature and not wasting it, so it lasts a long time. When we practice conservation, we turn off the water while brushing our teeth so we don’t waste it, we switch off lights when we leave a room, we recycle paper so fewer trees are cut down, and we protect animals and plants so they don’t disappear. It’s like being a superhero for Earth, making sure our air, water, animals, and forests are safe now and for the future.
