Conservation Biology
Introduction
Conservation Biology is concerned with the biology, conservation, ecology and management of biodiversity. Biodiversity is a catch all phrase for the units of life from genes, species to ecosystems. The ‘health’ of the world’s ecosystems depend upon the sustainable use of Natural Resources and the conservation management of species and ecosystems.
