Biodiversity encompasses the entire spectrum of life on Earth, including the variety of species, ecosystems, and genetic variation within species.

Habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species are all significant threats to biodiversity, contributing to the decline of species and ecosystems.

The primary goal of conservation biology is to protect and restore biodiversity, ensuring the survival of species and the integrity of ecosystems.

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is a legally binding international treaty that aims to promote the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity.

Invasive species are non-native species that have been introduced into an ecosystem and have the potential to cause harm to native species and ecosystems.

Captive breeding is a conservation strategy that involves breeding endangered species in captivity to increase their population and eventually reintroduce them into their natural habitat.

Habitat restoration involves restoring degraded ecosystems to their natural state, improving their ecological functions and supporting biodiversity.

Selective logging involves harvesting trees while maintaining the overall health and biodiversity of the forest ecosystem.

Mitigation involves reducing the impact of human activities on the environment, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change.

Protected areas are in-situ conservation strategies that aim to protect and conserve biodiversity within their natural habitats.

Genetic conservation involves preserving the genetic diversity within a species to maintain its adaptive potential and resilience.

Seed banks are ex-situ conservation strategies that aim to preserve genetic diversity by storing seeds of plant species in controlled conditions.

Sustainable management involves managing natural resources in a way that ensures their long-term availability and integrity.

Reducing meat consumption, using renewable energy, recycling and composting, and buying local and seasonal produce are all examples of sustainable consumption practices.

Environmental education involves educating the public about environmental issues and promoting responsible environmental behavior.
