Document Summary
Applications of conservation biology include designing reserves, reducing species extinctions, and managing exotic populations. Human activity has led to the extinction of many species in recent history. Large bird that lived off the east coast of africa (had no predators) The island was colonized and dodo were killed by new predators bought in and man. Predators were never there before, making the dodos go extinct. Some of the most prominent endangered species live in terrestrial ecosystems. One of the things seen by conservation efforts.
