What is Conservation Biology?01:57

What is Conservation Biology?

18.3K
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

9.6K
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.

Habitat Fragmentation02:31

Habitat Fragmentation

17.3K
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.

Ecological Niches

23.4K
All organisms have a position within an ecosystem. The complete set of living and nonliving factors—including food resources, climate, and terrain—that define the position of a given organism are collectively referred to as the organism’s ecological niche.

Sustainable Development01:43

Sustainable Development

13.1K
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

13.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Conservation Science
  • Social Sciences
  • Human-Environment Interactions

Background:

  • Interdisciplinary collaborations between natural and social sciences are vital for addressing global human-environment crises.
  • The concept of scale, including units of measurement and analysis, often creates tension within these collaborations.
  • Understanding the interplay between interdisciplinarity and scale is crucial for effective conservation efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine how interdisciplinary collaborations navigate scale in conservation science.
  • To illustrate the situated nature of scale choices within the context of scaling up conservation impact.
  • To analyze the influence of conservation discourse on scale, affecting ethical, epistemological, and institutional factors.

Main Methods:

  • Drawing on two research projects in Indonesia integrating cultural anthropology and conservation biology.
  • Analyzing how these specific collaborations addressed and navigated questions of scale.
  • Examining the implications of different interdisciplinary approaches to scale for research and conservation outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The relationship between interdisciplinarity and scale is deeply influenced by the drive to scale up conservation.
  • Conservation discourse on scale impacts ethical considerations, strategic planning, epistemological parity, and institutional structures.
  • Interdisciplinary efforts engage with these factors differently, shaping research trajectories and responses to scaling.

Conclusions:

  • Robust interdisciplinary collaborations require centering reflexive practices.
  • Recognizing the value of rescaling methods and goals is essential for effective conservation science.
  • Reforming funding structures can support more resilient and impactful interdisciplinary conservation initiatives.
