Staggering Losses: Alaska’s Murres in Crisis
A Tragic Turn for Alaska’s Seabirds Recent research reveals a devastating consequence of climate change: nearly half of Alaska’s common murre population has perished due to a marine heat wave,…
Conservation Biology is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the preservation, protection, and management of biodiversity and ecosystems. It aims to understand the factors that lead to species extinction and ecosystem degradation while developing strategies for the conservation of wildlife and natural habitats. The field combines principles from ecology, genetics, population biology, and environmental science to address issues such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation of resources. Conservation biologists work to assess the health of ecosystems, monitor endangered species, and create policies and practices that promote sustainability and restoration of natural environments. Ultimately, Conservation Biology seeks to ensure the survival of diverse life forms and the ecosystems they inhabit for future generations.
