BIOC58H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: In Situ Conservation In India, Near-Threatened Species, Critically Endangered
Document Summary
Clicker q1: review: a protected area has recently been proposed based on the fact that it contains a rare species of amphibian that is representative of a rare ecosystem that is considered unique and at risk. Species management: threatened species, red list threatened species of international union for conservation of. 2020 (land use + climate change: many species by 2020, that will basically be living death (not enough habitat to support populations) Biomedical research: primate colonies established in new, similar habitat fro biomedical research, example: indian rhesus macaques. Introduced to morgan island, south carolina, usa: why translocate organisms, to protect animal/people from each other. Nuisance animals translocated for safety: polar bears end up in town: get into trash etc, tagged and translocated. Individuals still there not dying off: especially released plants via reintroduction, never reproduced = living dead population (not long term)
