An interesting dictionary definition of conservation:
IMHO the important words here are the first two: planned management. That means more than just taping, it includes all the things mentioned by Leclused and more. It includes stuff like education, of course*, but it allows for the fact that education won't reach everybody very quickly, so, yes it does include gates and leader ('conservation warden') systems.
*though I agree with Chris that this is much mentioned in discussions like this but rarely, it would seem carried out in practice.
planned management of a natural resource to prevent exploitation, destruction, or neglect
