According to the Fundamentals of Conservation Biology‚ conservation biology is concerned with “keeping the wave of species extinctions from becoming a flood” (Hunter‚ Jr.‚ & Gibbs‚ 2007). In order to do this‚ conservation biology targets the threatened species and devises ways to sustain the population and the processes

clarified as preserving biodiversity? There are two sides to this issue. Main points that support the idea of keeping the animals in cages that often come up are zoos are able to provide protection and they can increase the population of those species who are endangered (Hurley‚ J). Some important points that are against the idea of encaging the animals include the animals develop abnormal behaviours and they believe that the zoos use the animals as an entertaining source for the public (Hurley‚ J).

Limitations such as establishing self-sufficient captive populations‚ poor success in reintroductions‚ high costs‚ domestications‚ preemption of other recover techniques‚ disease outbreaks and maintaining administrative

termed ex situ and in situ. Ex situ conservation involves conservation activities especially of endangered species outside their natural habitat. It is done through establishment of zoos‚ botanical gardens‚ genetic resource centres and cultural collection. In situ conservation is the conservation of species in their natural habitat. In situ conservation maintains not only the genetic diversity of species‚ but also the evolutionary adaptations that enable them to adapt continually to shifting environmental

Endangered Animal: Snow Leopard The snow leopard or Panthera unica is one of the most endangered cats on the globe. It is native mostly between 3‚500 and 5‚500 meters above sea level in the mountain ranges of Central Asia. They can also be found across Afghanistan‚ India‚ Mongolia‚ Nepal‚ China‚ Pakistan‚ Uzbekistan‚ Kazakhstan‚ the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan. Their numbers are said to be between 3‚500 and 7‚500‚ and an estimated 700 snow leopards are kept in zoos around the world. They play

There are several levels of biodiversity which include species‚ ecosystem‚ and genetic diversity. Species diversity is defined as the number and extent of individual species existing. Ecosystem diversity involves the ability of the Earth to support the assortment of ecosystem which includes low-lying tropical jungles to high alpine rock and ice. Then there is a genetic

Who gives the rights for human to do that？Human and animals have the same rights to live in the Earth. So today‚ I should say at the outset that I，like millions of citizens in China will share the view that animal welfare is an issue of very high importance. And I will speak on behalf of our friends‚ who also live in this planet—the animals. The current condition of many species of animals

Original answer and why: I chose option E‚ "We must save our rhinos because it is the right thing to do." -Rhinos are critically endangered At the turn of the 19th century‚ there were approximately one million rhinos. In 1970‚ there were around 70‚000. Today‚ there are only around 28‚000 rhinos surviving in the wild. Three of the five species of rhino are “Critically Endangered” as defined by the IUCN. -In 2014‚ some of us are lucky enough to be able to travel to Africa and Asia to see them in the wild
