Habitat Conservation

The word "conservation" is defined as the protection, preservation, management, or restoration of wildlife and of natural resources such as forests, soil, and water. We at EMWH are not just about conserving what remains, but enhancing our wildlife and habitat. But for the sake of utilizing a commonly accepted and somewhat understood word, we are using "conservation" as it is commonly used. While conservation applies to a broad, holistic, interconnected community, we are using this section to focus on habitat conservation, with the specific wildlife species under their own headings. Without natural habitat, the wildlife could not exist. So with that said, this section focuses on habitat conservation.
