Wildlife Conservation

Overview

Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting wild animal species and their habitats to ensure their survival and to maintain healthy, diverse ecosystems. It addresses threats such as habitat loss, fragmentation, overexploitation, and human–Wildlife conflict, and it employs measures including protected areas, habitat assessment and restoration, monitoring of populations and movements, and management strategies that balance ecological needs with human activity. Sound conservation depends on understanding where species live, how suitable their habitats are, and what pressures they face. Research in the journal applies these principles in field settings: studies include a GIS-based analysis of habitat suitability for African buffaloes in an Ethiopian national park, an assessment of the migration status, anthropogenic threats, and conservation directives for the White-eared kob viewed through an ecotourism perspective, and an analysis of the distribution of protected areas and large mammals. This work demonstrates how spatial analysis, species monitoring, and threat assessment inform protected-area management and conservation planning. This page brings together peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to Wildlife conservation, supporting study of the methods and evidence used to protect wild species and sustain the ecosystems on which they depend.
