Examples

Conservation can take many forms. Breeding programs aim to maintain the numbers of an endangered species such as rhinoceros.

The information gained from tagging and monitoring the movement of individuals within a population can be used to protect important breeding or feeding areas.

Removing trees with elm disease helps prevent its spread throughout a forest.
