Conservation 1. Contrast wilderness areas with wildlife refuges. Do you think each of these areas continue to fulfill their original purpose for which they were created?  2. How do the principles of island biogeography (the “island” drawings & examples in the lecture video) highlight these two important issues for conservation, especially for areas in the middle of developed landscapes? a. Size of area preserved - b. Distance from “mainland” - 3. What is the “edge” and “core” area of a reserve? Why is it so important to maximize “core” habitats?

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.
