Preservation and Conservation Preservation and conservation often go hand in hand when it comes to helping the natural environment to remain healthy or become healthier. Related efforts in restoration are aimed at helping the environment recover from destruction caused by human activity. The Mount Benson Preservation Society aims to preserve, conserve, and restore native habitats, plant and animal species, and other elements of the region's natural environment. Wildlife conservation and rehabilitation takes many forms in the Regional District of Nanaimo. Wildlife rehabilitators perform an invaluable service to the survival, preservation, and restoration of region's wildlife. Their primary mission is to take in injured and orphaned animals and care for them until they can be returned to the wild. Encounters with automobiles, pesticide poisonings (from both agricultural and lawn-care products), and attacks from dogs and cats are the most common causes for injuries and illness.
