Beginning with foundational ecological concepts and a historical overview of human impact on ecosystems, the book progresses through biodiversity measurement, threat analysis, and various conservation approaches, including protected area management and sustainable resource use. The text supports its arguments with scientific evidence from ecological research, conservation biology studies, and environmental science data.
Ultimately, Conservation and Ecology empowers readers with the knowledge and tools to contribute to conservation efforts, from supporting sustainable practices to advocating for environmental policies.
