What is Conservation Biology?

18.8K
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

13.5K
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.

Threats to Biodiversity

23.1K
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...

What is Biodiversity?

28.0K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Habitat Fragmentation02:31

Habitat Fragmentation

18.0K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

Conservation of Declining Populations

9.8K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Conservation Science
  • Data Ethics
  • Environmental Justice

Background:

  • Advances in data availability and computational power are revolutionizing conservation efforts.
  • However, the justice implications of data used in conservation, including representation, decision-making, and benefit distribution, are under-discussed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a framework for understanding and addressing justice dimensions in conservation data.
  • To provide guiding questions for conservationists to identify and mitigate potential data injustices.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a five-element framework: data composition, control, access, processing/use, and consequences.
  • Synthesized recent critiques of global conservation prioritization analyses to illustrate data-related harms.

Main Results:

  • Critiques reveal how data choices, assumptions, and oversimplifications can lead to social and ecological harms.
  • Identified potential injustices in how people and environments are represented and how benefits/harms are distributed.

Conclusions:

  • Formal ethical/legal frameworks and inclusive, reflexive research are crucial for mitigating conservation data injustices.
  • Ensuring data justice is essential for developing conservation strategies that are both socially equitable and ecologically effective.
