Conservation Biology
Conservation Biology is a multidisciplinary field that addresses the urgent need to understand, preserve, and sustain Earth's biodiversity. Focused on the study of ecosystems, species, and genetic diversity, this scientific discipline seeks innovative solutions to mitigate the escalating threats posed by habitat loss, climate change, and human activities. Conservation Biology plays a pivotal role in shaping strategies for the protection and restoration of ecosystems, aiming to strike a balance between human development and the preservation of the planet's rich biological heritage.
