Difference between Conservation biology and Overexploitation

Conservation biology vs. Overexploitation

Conservation biology is the management of nature and of Earth's biodiversity with the aim of protecting species, their habitats, and ecosystems from excessive rates of extinction and the erosion of biotic interactions. Overexploitation, also called overharvesting, refers to harvesting a renewable resource to the point of diminishing returns.

Similarities between Conservation biology and Overexploitation

Conservation biology and Overexploitation have 34 things in common (in Unionpedia): Biodiversity, Biodiversity loss, Bird, Deforestation, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Earth, Ecology, Ecosystem, Endangered species, Endemism, Extinction, Forest, Global warming, Habitat destruction, Habitat fragmentation, Human overpopulation, Kelp, Kelp forest, National park, Natural resource, Natural resource management, New Zealand, Ocean acidification, Pasture, Renewable resource, Sea otter, Sea urchin, Species richness, Sustainability, Tragedy of the commons, ..., Tyranny of small decisions, Vertebrate, Wildlife trade, World Conservation Monitoring Centre.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity, a portmanteau of biological (life) and diversity, generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth.

Biodiversity loss

Loss of biodiversity or biodiversity loss is the extinction of species (human, plant or animal) worldwide, and also the local reduction or loss of species in a certain habitat.

Bird

Birds, also known as Aves, are a group of endothermic vertebrates, characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton.

Deforestation

Deforestation, clearance, or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use.

Endangered species

An endangered species is a species which has been categorized as very likely to become extinct.

Endemism

Endemism is the ecological state of a species being unique to a defined geographic location, such as an island, nation, country or other defined zone, or habitat type; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

Extinction

In biology, extinction is the termination of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon), normally a species.

Forest

A forest is a large area dominated by trees.

Global warming

Global warming, also referred to as climate change, is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects.

Habitat destruction

Habitat destruction is the process in which natural habitat is rendered unable to support the species present.

Habitat fragmentation

Habitat fragmentation describes the emergence of discontinuities (fragmentation) in an organism's preferred environment (habitat), causing population fragmentation and ecosystem decay.

Human overpopulation

Human overpopulation (or population overshoot) occurs when the ecological footprint of a human population in a specific geographical location exceeds the carrying capacity of the place occupied by that group.

Natural resource management

Natural resource management refers to the management of natural resources such as land, water, soil, plants and animals, with a particular focus on how management affects the quality of life for both present and future generations (stewardship).

Sustainability

Sustainability is the process of change, in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development and institutional change are all in harmony and enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs and aspirations.

Tragedy of the commons

The tragedy of the commons is a term used in social science to describe a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users acting independently according to their own self-interest behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling that resource through their collective action.
