Conservation biology is a specialized field of study that focuses on the preservation, protection, and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems. This involves a deep understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes, as well as social and cultural factors that influence conservation efforts. Conservation biologists work to identify and address threats to biodiversity, develop strategies for species conservation and habitat restoration, and engage in policy and advocacy efforts to promote sustainable practices and preserve natural resources for future generations. This field of study is critical in the face of global challenges such as climate change, habitat destruction, and species extinction.
