(15)The text book gives many details about problems with the threats to biodiversity on planet Earth, but one problem which may be inherent in their analysis is (a) they fail to note that biodiversity loss involves population declines (b) they fail to consider human beings as part of the ecosystems that they survey (c) they fail to note that extinction is reversible (d) they fail to point out that if trends continue, we may see the extinction of more than half of all species

Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.
