Habitat conservation protects & restores habitats

This practice addresses species extinction, habitat fragmentation, & species range reduction

Protects whole habitat benefitting every individual species

By protecting habitats, biodiversity is protected

National forests, nature reserves, conservation zones, & national reserves are forms of this protection

Each form of protection/ management encourages species protection & biodiversity conservation.

In cases of species which are hunted and collected direct protection may be required to ensure their conservation. Organizations like CITES work to protect various species. For example, the African black rhino is under the protection of CITES and the rhino population was estimated to have increased to 5000 today compared to 2400 in 1995.

EU CFP: European Union Common Fisheries Policy

# data[].attributes.body
BY Francesco Buccelli

Described

(EU CFP) Function: to set the rules for fishing fleets in EU waters.

Objective of (EU CFP): to ensure the sustainable management and conservation of fish stocks in EU fishing waters, which are shared by a large number of countries. to ensure fishermen can compete fairly for fish stocks.

Evaluated

(Pros of the EU CFP) that set policies that:

Manage maximum catch sizes (catch limits) to maintain fish stocks in the long term.

Prevent illegal fishing.

Apply rules and sanctions across the EU.

Trace and check fishery products throughout the supply chain.

protect red list marine species.

Limitations of the (EU CFP):

EU vessels seeking more fish are targeting fragile fishing grounds in West Africa.

About more than half of West African waters are already overfished.

For the EU CFP to be very effective, it needs to be applied to the fishing practices of the EU vessels wherever they are fishing.

European Union Common Fisheries Policy(EU CFP)- Saray Yunes.

The European Union Common Fisheries Policy is a set of rules to manage fishing in the EU. The goal is to ensure the sustainable management and conservation of fish stocks in EU fishing waters , which are shared by a large number of countries. The UU CFP sets policies as : manage maximum catch sizes to maintain fish stock in the long term , prevent illegal fishing , protects Red list marine species. But has allowed over-fishing in the past, and difficulties enforcing rules consistently.

To be truly effective, it needs to apply to the fishing practices of EU vessels wherever they are fishing.

In environmental management conservation zones are areas where a covered land's natural values are protected, ensured, and maintained. They usually have national or international importance with rare, threatened, or even endangered species. These lands are often in a largely natural state and have very limited development.

The ICW sets regulations in place to manage and conserve whale species around the globe.

The ICW works with:

Oceanic noise pollution

Oceanic debris

Whale entanglement

Bycatch

Whale/ship collision

Sustainable whale watching

It is also limited because the catch limits are still high, it lack an enforcement programme for members who don't comply and illegal fishing is difficult to manage because of the large scale of the oceans.

A nature reserve (or wildlife sanctuary), is a legally protected area of importance for fauna, flora, and even geology or a habitat. Nature reserves are managed for the purpose of conservation and protection of natural resources, and can be used for scientific research. Endangered species are often kept in nature reserves for protection.

Nature reserves have shown great effectiveness in protecting wildlife and are protected by national laws. These laws protect them from hunters, and any other disturbance.

The process of restoring an area of land to its natural uncultivated state through the reintroduction of species of wild animals. Different techniques are used in rewilding depending on how damaged the area is; rewilding is a good method to conserve biodiversity in an ecosystem since it reintroduces the key native species, which improves the health of the ecosystem.

Raise funds and awareness of the need for conservation of endangered species. Specifically interested in protecting species that are on the verge of extinction, and species that are distinct in the way they look, live and behave. It represents unique and irreplaceable species that have been previously overlooked by conservation programmes.

Protection of habitats is when certain habitats are placed under watch in order to preserve them. This helps to conserve the land in which species live. By protecting habitats one protects biodiversity and makes sure that certain species have a home to come back to.

Describe- Sustaining Harvesting is using resources in a timely matter so that5 the use of the resource doesn't die out which would harm the future of the ecosystem.

Evaluate- This is very important/useful due to it ultimately allows the ecosystem to replenish its self and function normally.

Describe- International Union for conversation of nature is using scientific information and a tool to help guide international actions to preserve plants, animals and fungi species.

Evaluate- Using this method to preserve nature is pretty effective as they use their scientific research to help determine what species are endangered, extinct, near threatened or data deficient. Which in terms they help collect these species to keep them in a place where they can't be harmed. Though there can be problems with this method such as not all species that are endangered are on the list or sometimes the data isn't correct.

IWC is international whaling commission its purpose is to mange and conservation of whale species around the world. They put regulation in places for management and conservation of global whaling.

It also adresses the wide range of whale conservation issues, such as oceanic, whale entaglement, bytatch, whale/ship, collisions and sutainable whale watching

# data[].attributes.body
Describe: The awareness that we need to protect not only individual species, but biodiversity as a whole. In cases of species which are hunted or collected, direct protection may be required to ensure their conversation.

Evaluate: National laws such as the Endangered Species Act (USA) make the collection or killing of species on the endangered species list illegal and prosecutable. International laws are in place to protect various species. These usually fall under the management of organisation like CITES and IWC. However, it can be difficult to enforce these laws in the face of International poaching and trafficking.

Regulation of sustainable harvesting - Sean Merritt

# data[].attributes.body
Describe - Sustainable harvesting is the use of a resource in a way that ensures its constant supply without harming future yields or causing irreversible damage to the ecosystem. Sustainable harvesting needs to be regulated by education and legislation to be effective in conserving biodiversity.

Evaluate - examples of ways to maintain biodiversity through sustainable harvesting:

requiring permits for harvesting a resource

regulating how much of a resource can be harvested and when

taking a set % of a resource to allow for regrowth and ecosystem function instead of harvesting all of it

# data[].attributes.body
Describe - national parks protect landscape, wildlife, and natural features of an large area. Parks can be developed to protect areas of beauty, visitors are allowed to access national parks.

Evaluate - National parks are effective in conserving biodiversity because it protects wildlife, habitats, and geological sites, but visitors are allowed to access national parks which can damage the parks in different ways.

Rewinding- Restoring an area of land to its natural undisturbed state, specifically through the reintroduction of species of wild animals that have been driven out or hunted to extinction in the are.

Techniques- by removing dykes and dams to free up blocked rivers or reducing the active management of wildlife populations, nature can revert to its wild state.

Benefits- Gives reintroduced species and communities the space to thrive, while the population is enhanced by reintroducing of key native species.

Result- Biodiversity increases and the ecosystem’s health improves.
