What is Conservation Biology?01:57

What is Conservation Biology?

18.6K
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.

Conservation of Declining Populations

9.7K
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.

Naturalistic Observations

15.6K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Conservation of Small Populations

13.3K
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 Energy: Application01:12

Conservation of Energy: Application

7.0K
When solving problems using the energy conservation law, the object (system) to be studied should first be identified. Often, in applications of energy conservation, we study more than one body at the same time. Second, identify all forces acting on the object and determine whether each force doing work is conservative. If a non-conservative force (e.g., friction) is doing work, then mechanical energy is not conserved. The system must then be analyzed with non-conservative work. Third, for...

Area of Science:

  • Conservation Science
  • Environmental Management
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Conservation decisions involve diverse, often conflicting, priorities and trade-offs.
  • Practitioner choices are influenced by evidence, funding, stakeholders, policy, and personal factors.
  • Calls for increased reflexivity (self-examination) in conservation science are growing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role and impact of reflexivity in conservation practice.
  • To understand how self-reflection shapes individual and group approaches to nature conservation.

Main Methods:

  • A year-long series of workshops and online discussions.
  • Examination of case studies from literature and expert interviews.
  • Analysis of reflexivity at individual and collective levels, across informal and formal settings.

Main Results:

  • Reflexivity in conservation practice encompasses values, emotions, identities, training, and experiences.
  • Reflexive processes have limitations, including resource demands and implementation challenges.
  • Intentional reflexivity can be integrated into adaptive management and potentially transform conservation goals.

Conclusions:

  • Reflexivity is a valuable tool for conservation practitioners to enhance decision-making and outcomes.
  • While not a sole solution, reflexivity can lead to more effective and potentially transformative conservation efforts.
  • Encouraging reflexivity can help the conservation sector envision and work towards a better future for all stakeholders.
