Environment management is defined as the management of the interaction and impact of human activities on the natural environment, through the identification and management of factors that have a stake in the conflicts that may rise between meeting social and economic needs but protecting the environment.

Environmental conservation is the protection, preservation, management, or restoration of natural environments and the ecological communities that inhabit them. It refers to all practices that pave the way for protecting the environment and natural resources on the individual, organizational as well as governmental levels. Conservation is generally held to include the management of human use of natural resources for current public benefit and sustainable social and economic utilization.
