Conservation of Declining Populations

12.3K
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.

What is Conservation Biology?

23.7K
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

16.2K
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 Populations02:04

Conservation of Small Populations

16.4K
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...

Requirements for Human Life

12.2K
The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The 1950s nēnē (Hawaiian goose) restoration project was driven by the need to legitimize new conservation groups and boost Hawaii's economy, not just species endangerment. This reveals the complex, biopolitical nature of modern conservation efforts.

    Area of Science:

    • Conservation Biology
    • Environmental History
    • Political Ecology

    Background:

    • Post-WWII conservation efforts aimed to establish new organizations.
    • The nēnē (Hawaiian goose) faced extinction, prompting international intervention.
    • Historical context reveals complex motivations behind conservation projects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To scrutinize the 1950s nēnē restoration project.
    • To analyze how endangered species value is historically contingent.
    • To explore the biopolitical dimensions of modern conservation.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical case study analysis of the nēnē restoration project.
    • Examination of documents linking conservation to political and economic interests.
    • Analysis of disputes surrounding the reintroduction of captive-bred geese.

    Main Results:

    • The nēnē project was motivated by organizational legitimacy and economic benefits (tourism, statehood).
    • Valuation of the nēnē was complex, contradictory, and influenced by external interests.
    • Transnational restoration efforts had unforeseen consequences for the species and project.

    Conclusions:

    • Modern conservation is inherently biopolitical, not solely driven by ecological need.
    • The value assigned to endangered species is shaped by historical, social, and political factors.
    • There is no direct path from a species being endangered to it being valued.
