To protect ecosystems:
Ecosystem protection measures are very varied and interrelated, and may include:
• Protection of habitats and biodiversity;
• Pollution control;
• Sustainable management of forests;
• Reduction of the impacts of fishing and hunting;
• soils conservation;

For the protection of habitats and

biodiversity:

Preserve the
species
and
conserve your
habitat
To protect the species:
There are a number of measures we can take while
responsible citizens, to protect habitats and
biodiversity:
• Sensitize the family not to buy animal skins, ivory pieces or other products from
endangered or endangered species;
• Do not buy wood or paper whose production is associated with the felling of
tropical forests;
• Do not buy animals or plants removed from their natural habitat, such as birds,
snakes, turtles, or cactuses;
Pollution control:
The protection of ecosystems can also
be achieved by reducing pollution or
for the recovery of affected ecosystems
by pollution.

Recovery of affected ecosystems:

Many ecosystems affected by pollution can be recovered, depending on the type
and intensity of pollution.
Soil conservation:
There are several measures you can take to
reduce land degradation:
• Avoid removing all vegetation from a given soil;
• In areas with a high slope, build the fields in terraces;
• Do not waterproof the soil in excess;
• Avoid increasing soil fertilization through fires;
• Opting for crop rotation in agricultural fields;
• Reforest areas that are exposed to erosive agents;
