The focus of conservation biology is to understand and mitigate the loss of biodiversity. This interdisciplinary field combines ecology, genetics, economics, and sociology to develop strategies for protecting endangered species and their habitats. Conservation biologists assess threats such as habitat destruction, climate change, and pollution while aiming to restore damaged ecosystems. They also advocate for the establishment of protected areas and formulate policies that promote sustainable use of natural resources. Through research and action, conservation biology strives to preserve the rich variety of life on Earth for future generations.
