Study of Earth's landscapes, environments, and human-environment interactions.

Practical Applications

Resource Management and Conservation

Protecting What We Need

Geography teaches us how to manage Earth's resources wisely so they last for future generations. This includes water, forests, minerals, and more.

Main Ideas

  • Sustainable Harvesting: Taking only what we need without harming the environment.
  • Recycling: Reducing waste by reusing materials.
  • Protected Areas: Creating parks and reserves to conserve wildlife and habitats.

Why It Matters

Wise resource management helps prevent shortages, pollution, and habitat destruction.

Cool Example

  • National parks protect endangered species and provide places for people to enjoy nature.
  • Community recycling programs help cut down on landfill waste.

Examples

  • Establishing fishing limits to prevent overfishing in lakes and oceans.

  • Planting trees to restore habitats and prevent soil erosion.
