Conservation Biology. This is mainly due to the fact that we degrade or destroy their natural habitat to clear land for buildings, roads and agriculture. Conservation biologists usually work towards protecting a focal species, or a specific species, which, if conserved, will help the ecosystem as a whole. Principles of Conservation Biology. The Second Edition features a new chapter on becoming more effective in implementation of science in conservation policy, a much expanded and in-depth treatment of ecosystem management, a large number of new and updated guest essays and case studies, and rigorous revisions throughout.
