The Importance of Protecting Marine Biodiversity
... Another threat to marine biodiversity is that only a few species of fish are sought after. It is estimated that half of all fish caught are herring, cod, jack, redfish, or mackerel (Thorne-Miller and Cantena, 12). The pressures on these species make them very prone to extinction, which would be det ...

Habitat conservation
Habitat conservation is a land management practice that seeks to conserve, protect and restore habitat areas for wild plants and animals, especially conservation reliant species, and prevent their extinction, fragmentation or reduction in range. It is a priority of many groups that cannot be easily characterized in terms of any one ideology.
