Conservation biology is the study of the nature and status of Earth's biodiversity, aimed to protect species, their habitats, and ecosystems from threatening to extinction.[1][2] It combines subjects ranged from sciences to economics and the practice of natural resource management. The name conservation biology was introduced as the title of a meeting held at the University of California in 1978. Both conservation biology and the concept of biodiversity influence conservation policy.[3][4][5][6]
