About conservation and protected areas notes
GoConqr OriginalConservation and Protected Areas notes
The notes on this page approach the unit from several angles. Extinction introduces the loss of species, populations or genes, while Reasons for maintaining biodiversity offers a starting point for reviewing why conservation matters. Other notes look at conservation organisations and designated areas, or at whether wild animals and animal parts should be traded.
Using the notes to revise
Start with Extinction if you want a definition to work from. Then read Managing Biodiversity for notes on protected sites, including areas designated for birds. Biosphere Sanctuaries adds another perspective on places where communities explore interactions between people and ecosystems.
After reading, make a short summary of each note and compare the topics they address. If you want to check your recall rather than reread, switch to a quiz on the unit page. Pick a set of notes to pair with a quiz.
Frequently asked questions
Which notes should I start with?
Try Extinction if you want to begin with a definition of extinction. For protected sites, Managing Biodiversity includes notes on areas designated for rare, vulnerable and migratory birds. You can then move to Biosphere Sanctuaries for a different perspective on people and ecosystems.
