Conservation Science

Conservation Science is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the protection and restoration of natural resources and biodiversity. It is an umbrella term that encompasses a wide range of topics, including ecology, management of natural resources, applied conservation biology, and earth systems science. Conservation Science is increasingly important as human activities and natural disasters continue to threaten the health and balance of ecosystems, and species diversity across the planet. Conservation Science can be used to inform and guide land-use decisions, promote sustainable development, and help manage marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Conservation strategies based on Conservation Science can help protect threatened species, restore damaged habitats, reduce pollution, and assist in the conservation of biodiversity.
