    Answer:

    Conservation of resources is essential because some resources like minerals are non-renewable, need conservation for future generations. Conservation is a judicious and careful management of resources by man as improper and overuse can deplete them leading to many ecological problems. Three methods of soil conservation are:
    (i) Terrace farming: Cutting of hilly areas into steps to reduce the flow of running water.
    (ii) Strip cropping: Growing of crops in long strips.
    (iii) Planting of shelter belts: Shrubs and trees are planted along fields to control the force of wind.
