Conservation Biology and Wildlife
Conservation Biology and Wildlife: the science of managing native plants and animals. It aims to limit the effects of environmental degradation, climate change and the loss of biodiversity. Conservation biology is tied closely to ecology in researching the population ecology (dispersal, migration, demographics, effective population size, inbreeding depression, and minimum population viability) of rare or endangered species. Conservation biology is concerned with phenomena that affect the maintenance, loss, and restoration of biodiversity and the science of sustaining evolutionary processes that engender genetic, population, species, and ecosystem diversity.
