Protecting Life on Earth
Conservation biology focuses on preserving biodiversity and maintaining healthy ecosystems. Scientists study endangered species, restore habitats, and work with communities to balance human needs and environmental health.
Strategies for Conservation
- Creating wildlife reserves and national parks
- Breeding programs for endangered species
- Promoting sustainable resource use
Why It Matters
Healthy ecosystems provide us with clean air, water, food, and even medicines. Protecting nature is vital for our survival and well-being.
