Conservation threats to species are usually stated in terms of habitat loss (Griffith et al. 1989; Sutherland 1998; Kerr & Deguise 2004), overharvesting and overpredation (Caughley 1994; Sinclair et al. 1998). However, population declines often occur through a combination of factors, derived from co ...

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.
