The concept of land conservation may be defined as the preservation and better utilization of land resources for pres­ent and future generations. "Conserve" is in contrast to "de­stroy" or "waste". The idea of conservation means that land resources should be used but used wisely.

The proper, sound and full use of land resources is secured by the State Land Use Control. The land use planner is to discourage land uses that undermine the productive capacity of land and to prevent the waste of land resources. Our wealth of land resources must be used for the maximum benefit of people now and in future.

Man has long tried primitive methods of land conservation. Excessive cultivation and grazing destroyed the natural cover, caused increased leaching and opened up soils to more erosion danger.

Land conservation has become the prime concern of land use planners. The concept of making use of nature involves applying scientific and technological achievements to land conservation. The land fertility must be conserved and increased by wise land uses.

The earth over the deposits is removed and stored in its original pattern, depending on the degree to which it can be subsequently used in agricultural cultivation. The worked-out pits are then filled according to a strict formula — dead rock first, then partially usable earth, and then, on top, the life-giving black earth.

Thus new ecological and soil systems have been created as far as fertility goes, they are just as good as the natural ones. Reclaimed fields produce higher yields of an average four tons winter wheat per hectare and even six in certain areas.

Experience shows that conservation measures can and fre­quently do pay off, particularly when they represent wise land resources use overtime.

There are no instances in which a policy of safeguarding or even saving land resources is not profitable. From the stand­point of our needs land conservation programs are always profitable.
