Behavioural biology: an effective and relevant conservation tool

The Linkage between Conservation Strategies for Large Carnivores

The protected areas of Europe are generally too small to support more than a handful of individual large carnivores (Table 19.3), thus requiring them to live in the multiuse landscapes where conflicts are most likely to occur (Linnell et al. 2001a).

Marine conservation
Marine conservation, also known as marine resources conservation, is the protection and preservation of ecosystems in oceans and seas. Marine conservation focuses on limiting human-caused damage to marine ecosystems, and on restoring damaged marine ecosystems. Marine conservation also focuses on preserving vulnerable marine species.
