Conservation in the Anthropocene

Although we agree that humans are a dominant species and have affected natural systems at a global scale, we suggest that humans may have less influence at smaller extents of specific regions and even ecosystems. We fear that the concept of pervasive human-caused change may cultivate hopelessness in ...

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.
