If you allow yourself to visualize the earth without industrialization generated by humans, you may see a substantial amount of forests, animals, and overall environmental aesthetic. Over the years humans have advanced in many areas such as industrialization, technological advancement, and nuclear weaponry. These developments were made to benefit humans, but the advancement jeopardizes the conservation of nature and the well being of the animals that roamed the earth long before us humans. The goal behind conservation is the preservation of any aspect involving nature. A large part of understanding conservation is being able to view the effort from an ethical standpoint regarding the environment (e.g. egalitarian biocentrism). There are conservation

It is appalling that there are those who are opposed to conservation that believe short term problem solving like hydraulic fracturing is an exceptional form of obtaining fossil fuels. The act of hydraulic fracturing must be put to a halt because it includes drilling holes deep into the earth, which are then filled with toxic fluids that allow for the release of oil or gas. According to The Gemological Institute of Romania, Bucharest, Romania, they would describe hydraulic fracturing as “a planting of an ecological bomb with delayed effect, which will cause in the future at least catastrophic eco-phenomena at regional scale”. This type of altering of the earth is unethical, humans are crossing boundaries in regard to the respect the earth deserves for its intrinsic value. It is true that in modern day essential resources are needed for everyday life to be sustained, but we are not entitled to destroy the earth. Also, fracking increases the compromise between whether or not water found in certain time zones is safe to consume. Humans are made of 60-75% water and the earth is made up of 75% water, so why would we compromise the very mineral that makes up our bodies and the environment around us? One possible answer is because over time, we have grown accustomed to receiving pleasure from instant gratification. Hydraulic fracturing solves the problem with obtaining of fossil fuels to benefit humans, but it is positively correlated with hurting the earth, which changes the environment, which causes the extinction of animals. This obvious relationship is reason enough to take a look at our morals and consider what changes need to be made in order to cohabit with nature and the animals found on
