Species of the Day: Amami Rabbit
... Amami Rabbit population has undergone a significant decline, with only four fragmented subpopulations remaining. Since 1980, the amount of old growth forest on the islands of Amami and Tokuno has declined by an alarming 70 to 90 percent. In addition, predation by introduced mammalian predators, such ...

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.
