Overview

Biodiversity conservation is the study and practice of preserving Earth's natural heritage, including the protection of species, habitats, and ecosystems. This interdisciplinary field draws on natural and social sciences, as well as the practice of natural resource management. The conservation ethic is based on the findings of conservation biology, which is a subclass of environmental management and part of the broader field of biology. The Paris Agreement has set a goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C, but the current pace of progress is insufficient to meet this target.
