Nature conservation aims to safeguard the integrity and diversity of natural ecosystems, including their plant and animal species, habitats, and ecological processes.

Biodiversity contributes to the stability and resilience of ecosystems by providing a variety of species that perform different ecological roles, ensuring the continued functioning of ecosystem processes.

Habitat destruction and fragmentation, often caused by human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and infrastructure development, are major drivers of biodiversity loss.

Extinction vortex refers to the accelerating decline and eventual extinction of a species due to a combination of factors, including habitat loss, reduced genetic diversity, and increased vulnerability to environmental stresses.

Keystone species have a disproportionate impact on their ecosystems relative to their abundance, playing crucial roles in maintaining ecosystem structure, function, and stability.

A food web is a complex network of interconnected food chains, representing the feeding relationships between different species in an ecosystem, highlighting their interdependence.

Ecosystem services are the benefits that humans derive from the natural environment, including clean air and water, pollination of crops, regulation of climate, and many others.

Ecological restoration is the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed, with the goal of restoring its natural structure, function, and biodiversity.

Sustainable development aims to balance the needs of the present with the preservation of resources and the environment for future generations.

The Paris Agreement is an international treaty that aims to limit global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change.

Mitigation refers to actions taken to reduce the severity or likelihood of negative environmental impacts, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change.

Renewable energy sources are those that can be replenished naturally, such as solar energy, wind energy, and hydropower.

Conservation refers to the wise use and management of resources to prevent their depletion or degradation.

Non-renewable resources are those that cannot be replenished naturally at a rate comparable to their consumption, such as fossil fuels.

Reducing waste and pollution involves a combination of recycling, composting, and pollution prevention strategies.
