Difference Between Natural Selection And Speciation

Natural selection and speciation are two examples of how biodiversity can be expanded within an ecosystem. Natural selection is the process by which characteristics are inherited to enhance survival and increase the chances of reproduction in future generations than those that do not, altering the genes of a population over time. These characteristics will help future individuals within the population to become more efficient and better suited to their environment.
Speciation is the process by which a new species is created from a pre-existing one. Speciation can occur one of two ways, both involve the division a population. The first way speciation occurs is when individuals from a population separate and gradual adaptations occur overtime to the extent that they are not recognized as the same species as the original population. The second, is when a physical barrier(i.e. mountains, forests, canyons or bodies of water) divides a population and different species evolve to fill different niches to avoid competing for resources. Though they originated from the same species, these new individuals have evolved enough that they are now reproductively isolated and are a new species themselves.
When tourists get a chance to experience and witness these protected environments for themselves, the impact is much greater than that of any legislation. However, while ecotourism is a great way to experience protected areas, often times the parks are under staffed and under-funded and the protected environment can suffer if proper guidelines and protocol aren’t followed. The problem with legislation and international treaties is that there's a lot of print that most people will not care nor take the time to read, and many times are not enforced properly or enough to deter
