Conservation Week/Te Wiki Tiaki Ao Tūroa is a national celebration that encourages people to get involved in nature and help to take care of it. It takes place this year from Saturday-14th till the 22nd of September. This year we celebrate 50 years of Conservation Week. Conservation Week was originally launched in 1969 by New Zealand Scout Association, they have a goal to promote greater interest in the environment.
Conservation Week is important in our society and environment as it helps the environment to reduce the air and soil pollution. It is also important because if we didn't do it or not participate in Conservation Week there's going to be a big impact on the environment we might not be able to save our planet. Many things happened this year the forests are burning like the Amazon forest, native animals and plants threatened or at risk. The things that are happening this year can affect not just people but other living organisms. If we didn't do any action to encourage other people to help, the problem will get worse and might be too late to save the environment.
As a student and a teenager, we have many ways that we could help the environment and save the planet. First, we could plant a tree or plant in our backyard to release oxygen and people will able to breath fresh air, we could also make a com spit bin to put the recycle bottles. Secondly, don't throw food everywhere because it might attract mice and rats to eat and they might able to re-produce and their population will grow and that will cause a big problem, they might eat all of the bird eggs. Lastly, we could be part and volunteer for cleaning up in your community. Doing little things can make a big difference in the environment.
This is very informative. I like how you mentioned the Amazon Rain forest incident to spread awareness and put clear information about the Conservation Week program. Good job Jhermaine! :D
