Conservation of Declining Populations02:07

Conservation of Declining Populations

12.1K
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.

Keystone Species01:39

Keystone Species

23.2K
Measures of species biodiversity, such as richness (i.e., the number of species present) and evenness (i.e., their relative abundance), describe an ecological community’s structure. Many factors affect community structure, including abiotic factors (e.g., sunlight and nutrients), disturbances (e.g., fire or flood), species interactions (e.g., predation or competition), and chance events (e.g., foreign species invasion). Certain species—such as keystone species—also play a...

Sustainable Development

14.2K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Conservation of Small Populations02:04

Conservation of Small Populations

16.1K
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...

Biodiversity and Human Values

16.0K
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.

What is Conservation Biology?01:57

What is Conservation Biology?

23.4K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Marine Conservation Science
  • Environmental Economics
  • Human Ecology

Background:

  • High seas ecosystem services benefit society, but their human welfare impacts are poorly quantified.
  • Ecosystem services from the high seas are crucial but often overlooked in policy and economic assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify public willingness to pay for high seas ecosystem conservation.
  • To identify factors influencing willingness to pay for marine resource conservation and development.
  • To assess distance-decay effects on willingness to pay for high seas conservation.

Main Methods:

  • Choice experiments were conducted in Canada, Norway, and Scotland.
  • Elicited public willingness to pay for conserving high seas ecosystems and developing marine resources.
  • Analyzed sociodemographic characteristics and perceptions influencing economic valuation.

Main Results:

  • The public generally valued high seas conservation and marine resource development.
  • Willingness to pay varied significantly, with Scots showing the highest and Norwegians the lowest values.
  • Distance-decay effects were not clearly established; sociodemographics and perceptions influenced valuation.

Conclusions:

  • High seas governance significantly impacts human welfare and perceived ecosystem service value.
  • Improved governance can enhance the societal value placed on high seas ecosystems and their services.
  • Public valuation of marine ecosystems is influenced by factors beyond mere proximity.
