It's not correct to affirm that all conservation programs were started in the 1990's, since many of them can be traced back to the 1980's and even 1970's. What really started this idea in people's mind was that fossil fuels weren't a long term sustainable source of energy.
Conservation Programs are, as the name suggests, programs created with the goal of conserving the planet and its natural resources, such as doing Forest Restoration Program, Farmable Wetlands Program, Grassland Reserve Program, etc.
