Protected Areas and Endemic Species
... In general, there are two major factors influencing the degree of endemism in an area: isolation and stability. Thus isolated islands and mountains are often rich in endemics. Long-term climatic stability is rather rare, but there is evidence that some parts of the planet have been more stable than ...

Conservation biology
![](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/Hopetoun_falls.jpg?width=300)
Conservation biology is the scientific study of nature and of Earth's biodiversity with the aim of protecting species, their habitats, and ecosystems from excessive rates of extinction and the erosion of biotic interactions. It is an interdisciplinary subject drawing on natural and social sciences, and the practice of natural resource management.The conservation ethic is based on the findings of conservation biology.
