Science and nature both are distinct concepts and equally important in our life. In an abstracted manner, these two concepts may seem contradictory to each other. But if detailed aspects of science and nature will show the correlation between two that supports the existence of each other. We, as human beings, have evolved and developed with the help of innovations, and technological changes. These choices for a comfortable life make us prefer science and technology over nature. Although virtually it looks like that, science can be actually applied for the preservation and conservation of nature in many ways. And this emphasizes the fact that science and nature are the two sides of a single coin, and we cannot select only one out of that for our comfort and survival.

Herein, we discuss different scientific innovations that are useful for the conservation of nature and, consequently, the betterment of human beings.

Facial recognition technology for fish
Many branches of science include the study of natural life, living organisms, and their species. The study of different species of fish is not an exception for this. One of the technologies developed for sustainable fisheries management includes facial recognition technology for fish. Scientists have developed a system called fish face to organize, collect, and share information and data necessary for sustainable fisheries management. With this system, the knowledge regarding different fish species and harvest levels can be acquired.

Drones, lasers, and artificial intelligence
Many technological innovations such as drones, lasers, and artificial intelligence allow identification, observation, and the measurement of an object without coming into direct contact with it. Images obtained with drone cameras as well as satellite technologies are useful for the conservation of nature, predicting future threats, and the use of preventive mechanisms for avoiding these threats. Fortunately, science has given us the opportunity to observe the universe, space, and planets with a satellite camera. This increases the scope of a human being beyond the Earth. Different artificial intelligence programs are capable of predicting different climatic conditions that can help in the preservation of nature.

Precision agriculture
One more variation coming with the agricultural process is termed as precision agriculture. It involves the use of drones, computer applications, and a remote sensor, which helps farmers determine the right level of inputs for each square foot of a field. This technical innovation will help farmers to save the amount of water, fertilizers, and pesticides required across the entire area. Different resources will be used in an optimized way, and it will be helpful for protecting nature by minimizing the use of fertilizers and chemicals on the farm. Organic farming is also one of the concepts associated with the preservation of nature.

Remote camera traps
Application of remote camera traps for observation of different wild animals is another innovation that is triggered by our curiosity about wildlife. These high-resolution, low-weight, motion-sensitive cameras are beneficial to track and get a knowledge base about wild animal species and their ways of living.

In this way, science and technological innovations can prove beneficial for nature in many ways.
