ARB conservation resources mostly involve the Living World context and include the science capabilities: Gather and interpret data and Engage with science.
Conservation of plants and animals is all about being aware of the actions that help solve problems or issues when change happens. It requires knowing about the adaptations plants and animals have that help them survive when there is a change in their habitat.
