What Is a Conservation Biologist?
Conservation biology is a focused sub-discipline of biology that studies ecosystems on Earth in order to help protect plant and animal species from endangerment and extinction. As evidence of massive extinctions became abundant in the late 20th century, some scientists decided to focus their research on finding accurate data about extinctions and using this knowledge to repopulate or save vital species. In addition to aiding the fight to save species from extinctions, some conservation biologists are also intent on ensuring that the Earth remains a viable habitat for humanity by continuing necessary biodiversity.
