A snapshot of the Lesser Kestrel

The Castro Verde SPA holds more than 70% of Portugal’s Lesser Kestrel population, which makes it very vulnerable to random phenomena that can cause irreversible damages on the population. Therefore, it’s crucial to ensure the presen ...

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.
