Studying population genetics is significant for conservation as it provides insights into the genetic diversity and health of endangered species. Understanding genetic structure, gene flow, and inbreeding helps identify populations at risk and informs conservation strategies. It aids in determining minimum viable populations, enabling scientists to implement effective management plans. Furthermore, population genetics aids in monitoring the effectiveness of conservation interventions and in restoring genetic diversity in reintroduced populations. This knowledge is central to ensuring the long-term survival of species in changing environments.
