Overview

Conservation is the protection, management, and sustainable use of natural resources, species, and ecosystems to maintain biological diversity and ecological function for present and future generations. It integrates ecological science with management practice and social context, addressing the distribution of species, the threats they face, and the strategies that can secure their persistence. A central theme is wildlife conservation, including the distribution and conservation challenges of large mammals, the analysis of habitat suitability for species such as African buffaloes, and the assessment of migration status and anthropogenic threats from perspectives that include ecotourism. Conservation also engages the human dimension, examining the socio-cultural roles and lived realities of communities, particularly women, in environmental conservation within patriarchal and forest-dependent societies. Beyond biodiversity, the concept extends to resource and energy conservation, encompassing efficiency measures in buildings and freight transport, and to molecular and evolutionary conservation, where conserved genes and protein domains reveal shared biological heritage. Research in this area characterises species distributions and habitats, identifies the ecological and human factors that endanger them, evaluates conservation and management interventions, and connects the protection of nature to community engagement and the sustainable use of resources.
