The conservation of soil is necessary in order to maintain its [[1]].

Soil conservation is an important aspect of sustainable land use management because the soil is a finite resource that provides the foundation for food production and other essential ecosystem services. Deforestation can lead to soil erosion, where the top layer of soil is loosened and carried away by water or wind. This erosion can cause the soil to lose its fertility, making it more difficult for plants to grow and reducing the productivity of agricultural land. To prevent soil erosion and maintain soil fertility, practices such as terracing, cover cropping, and no-till farming can be implemented.
