... Competition (-,-) is when organisms compete for a resource such as food, light or space. Predation (+,-) is when one organism benefits by eating something else. Mutualism (+,+) is when both organisms benefit. Commensalism (+, 0) is when one organism benefits and the other is not affected. Parasitism ...

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.
