 Ever since we caught wind of the fact that there are wide varieties
of species existing in this Earth, mankind has kept on searching far
Quick and wide across the globe to attempt to find and identify each and
every one of them. Sadly, the rate of extinction of known species
Summary seem to be catching to the rate of discovery of the new ones. If
handled poorly, the rate of extinction might soon surpass that of
discovery.
 With an estimate of around 2–8 million species in our planet, only
around 1.8 of them are named [1, 2], a great sum, yet continuously
diminishing through the irresponsibility of man.
Background  Hunting, and destruction of habitats through deforestation, and
urbanization, are few of the various actions that sometimes lead
to the extinction of the various species roaming our planet.
 Conservation of biological diversity leads to conservation of
essential ecological diversity to preserve the continuity of food
chains.
 The genetic diversity of plants and animals is preserved.
 It ensures the sustainable utilization of life support systems on
Objective of earth.
the  It provides a vast knowledge of potential use to the scientific
community.
Conservation
 A reservoir of wild animals and plants is preserved, thus enabling
of Biodiversity them to be introduced, if need be, in the surrounding areas.
 Biological diversity provides immediate benefits to the society
such as recreation and tourism.
 Biodiversity conservation serves as an insurance policy for the
future.
 IN SITU
 “On-Site conservation”, is an approach, where the natural habitats
of living organisms are preserved, and maintained, allowing the
organisms to flourish in their natural habitats, some few examples
are national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves
Types of
 EX SITU
Conservation  “Off-Site conservation” is an approach where the organisms are
relocated to controlled– artificial, or man-made habitats, which are
Approaches made to imitate their original habitats.
 In return to having lesser mobility and interactions with other
species, the scientists are able to carefully observe and provide the
needs of the organism being taken care of, examples are zoos,
aquariums and botanical gardens
 The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
has organized a global assortment of scientists and research
stations across the planet to monitor the changing state of
nature in an effort to tackle the extinction crisis. The IUCN Red
List serves as an international conservation tool to identify those
Conservation species most in need of conservation attention and by providing a
global index on the status of biodiversity.
priorities  The rapid rate of biodiversity loss, threatens to limit our possible
sources of supply in the near future, as such, conservation
priorities have been made, this way, we can focus on preserving
the most threatened species, until it they can be left alone, or at
least be taken care of, without having to take extensive measures.
 Project Elephant
 Launched in 1991, to help protect Asian elephants from large scale
poaching.
Few Projects  Project Rhino
that aim to  Launched in 2011, “Project Rhino is an association of like-minded
organizations, facilitating rhino conservation interventions aimed at
save eliminating rhino poaching and securing the white and black rhino
populations of KwaZulu-Natal” [5].
Endangered  Panda Conservation Project
Species  Launched in 2003, this projects aims to create new panda reserves in
china, to protect the population of Giant Pandas.
 The BAD
 Large industrial development projects such as mines and dams,
have an unavoidable impact on the local environment, which in turn
can have huge repercussions for biodiversity. While Biodiversity
The GOOD Offsetting might be able to compensate for these impacts, they
usually end up causing rifts in the ecosystem.
and the BAD  The GOOD
 Conservation Projects attempts to amend few of these problems by
rehabilitating or protecting species and their habitats to prevent
disruption of ecosystems, albeit in exchange of the possible
industrial gains.
 Each and every year, population of various species fluctuate, this
isn’t much of a problem for common species, but for rare, or
uncommon species, such fluctuations mean a lot, not only for that
Whats next specie, but also for us humans, as such, each and every year, new
conservation projects pop up, attempting to control those
then? fluctuations into a positive direction. Along with the conservation
projects, are charities, companies, and organizations, funding
these projects for the betterment of mankind and the planet.
That’s it~ ?  Yeah, that’s it :3
