What is Conservation Biology?

17.7K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Biodiversity and Human Values

14.8K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Conservation of Small Populations

14.3K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

Conservation of declining population focuses on ways of detecting, diagnosing, and halting a population decline. The approach uses methods to prevent populations from going extinct.

Threats to Biodiversity

21.7K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences02:51

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

3.3K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Conservation Science
  • Communication Studies

Background:

  • Effective dialogue on complex conservation and societal issues is crucial for modern conservation efforts.
  • Conferences are valuable venues for such dialogue, yet optimal facilitation methods require further exploration.
  • Face-to-face (FTF) and computer-mediated communication (CMC) offer distinct advantages for facilitating dialogue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the integrated use of CMC and FTF approaches for fostering dialogue on conservation and biodiversity.
  • To evaluate the potential of combining online and in-person methods to enhance scientific discussions.
  • To explore best practices for facilitating active dialogue in conservation science.

Main Methods:

  • An interactive blog was utilized to generate CMC on participant-identified conservation issues.
  • The blog served to prime and prepare participants for subsequent FTF discussions.
  • A 3-hour FTF workshop at a national ecology conference facilitated in-depth dialogue.

Main Results:

  • The integrated approach yielded significant engagement: the blog averaged 126 daily views with 127 comments from 44 authors.
  • Twenty-five participants actively engaged in the FTF workshop.
  • Post-conference surveys revealed that 88% of participants felt CMC facilitated FTF dialogue, and 83% found preliminary online discussion beneficial for future conferences.

Conclusions:

  • The combined use of CMC and FTF communication is effective in building dialogue on conservation topics.
  • Preliminary online engagement through platforms like blogs can significantly enhance subsequent in-person discussions.
  • This integrated model offers a promising strategy for improving dialogue facilitation at future scientific conferences.
