There is a movement in conservation biology suggesting a new form of leadership is needed to mobilize conservation biology into a more effective discipline that is able to communicate the full scope of the problem to society at large. [82] The movement proposes an adaptive leadership approach that parallels an adaptive management approach. The ...
Conservation projects may have a better chance of being successful if biologists search for a deeper understanding of how animals make adaptive decisions. [3] While animal behavior and conservation biology are conceptually intertwined, the idea of using animal behavior in conservation management was only first used explicitly in 1974. [5]
Wildlife conservation refers to the practice of protecting wild species and their habitats in order to maintain healthy wildlife species or populations and to restore, protect or enhance natural ecosystems.
Traditional conservation is based on "reservation and restoration"; reservation meaning setting pristine lands aside for the sole purpose of maintaining biodiversity, and restoration meaning returning human impacted ecosystems to their natural state.
Wildlife management is the management process influencing interactions among and between wildlife, its habitats and people to achieve predefined impacts. [1] [2] [3] Wildlife management can include wildlife conservation, population control, gamekeeping, wildlife contraceptive and pest control.
Daniel Hunt Janzen (born January 18, 1939, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin [1]) is an American evolutionary ecologist and conservationist.He divides his time between his professorship in biology at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is the DiMaura Professor of Conservation Biology, and his research and field work in Costa Rica.
The SLOSS debate was a debate in ecology and conservation biology during the 1970's and 1980's as to whether a single large or several small (SLOSS) reserves were a superior means of conserving biodiversity in a fragmented habitat. Since its inception, multiple alternate theories have been proposed.
Conservation-far is the means of protecting nature by separating it and safeguarding it from humans. [29] Means of doing this include the creation of preserves or national parks. They are meant to keep the flora and fauna away from human influence and have become a staple method in the west. Conservation-near however is conservation via connection.
