Conservation (Anthromorphemics)

The protection and care of archaeological resources.


Conservation (Anthropology)

The protection and care of archaeological resources.


Conservation (Aquaculture)

The practice of protecting nature from loss or damage.


Conservation (Architecture)

  1. Thye 20th century has seen the constructin of more new architecture than the total produced by all preceding centuries put together. But it has also seen the principle of preserving not just the most significant individual buildungs, but substantial groups of buildings, come to be universally established. Conservation, the art of the careful restoration and recyling of run-down and redundant buildings, has become an increasingly sophisticated practice.

Conservation (Archival)

The treatment of library or archive materials, works of art, or museum objects to stabilize them chemically or strengthen them physically, sustaining their survival as long as possible in their original form. See also Preservation.

Conservation (Conservation)

Protection of land and related natural resources; may also refer to the management of resources to protect future value.


Conservation (Developmental Psychology)

The concept that physical properties remain constant even as appearance and form changes.


Conservation (Energy)

Steps taken to cause less energy to be used than would otherwise be the case. These steps may involve improved efficiency, avoidance of waste, reduced consumption, etc. They may involve installing equipment (such as a computer to ensure efficient energy use), modifying equipment (such as making a boiler more efficient), adding insulation, changing behavior patterns, etc.

Conservation (Environment)

Preserving and renewing, when possible, human and natural resources. The use, protection, and improvement of natural resources according to principles that will ensure their highest economic or social benefits.


Conservation (Environmental Toxins)

The preservation of resources through efficient and careful use.


Conservation (Fish)

The process or means of achieving recovery of viable populations.


See more Fish Terms ...

Conservation (Forestry)

The planning and management of resources so that we have continued access to these resources while maintaining their quality.


See more Forestry Terms ...

Conservation (Fundraising)

Special types of split-interest gifts of real estate for which donors can claim tax deductions if the gifts are for conservation purposes. See also:Qualified Conservation Contribution, Use of Property


Conservation (Golf)

of Angular Momentum (COAM) A law of physics that allows the player to produce large amounts of kinetic energy. As the body shiftsits weight and turns towards the target in the forward swing, the mass (arms and club) is pulled away from the center into an extended position by centrifugal force. By temporary resisting that pull as well as the temptation to assist the hit by releasing too early, one maintains the angle formed between the club?s shaft and the left arm and conserves the energy until a more advantageous moment. This has been referred to as a "delayed hit," a "late hit," "connection," "lag loading," "the keystone" or COAM, but when performed correctly may simply be called "good timing."

Conservation (Historical Study)

The act of preserving or restoring an object from loss,damage or neglect.


Conservation (Hunting)

the management of a natural resource so that it can be sustained over the long-term.


See more Hunting Terms ...

Conservation (Maps)

The protection of a natural resource, usually by planned management, to prevent its depletion or destruction


See more Maps Terms ...

Conservation (Microbiology)

Identical parts of genes that are present in two distinct organisms are said to be conserved. Conservation can be detected by measuring the similarity of the two sequences at the base (RNA or DNA) or amino-acid (protein) level.


Conservation (Nature)

Human use and stewardship of the environment such that natural resources and biodiversity are self-sustaining.


See more Nature Terms ...

Conservation (Paper)

The preservation and responsible use of our natural resources to ensure they endure. ENVIRONMENT® Papers are an excellent choice because they conserve trees, water, chemicals, energy and landfill space.


See more Paper Terms ...

Conservation (Pests)

Any biological control practice designed to protect and maintain populations of existing natural enemies.


See more Pests Terms ...

Conservation (Physics High Energy)

When a quantity (e.g.- electric charge, energy or momentum) is conserved, it is the same after a reaction between particles as it was before.


Conservation (Real Estate)

Preservation, through zoning, of improved areas to maintain the quality of the area.
