One concept of conservation biology is known as minimum viablepopulation. Some species’ populations are so fragmented andsmall that they may have very little genetic variability left. Withminimal genetic variation in the population, there is little likelihoodthat a population can adapt to an environmental threat, such as anew disease. Florida panthers are at or below the minimum viablepopulation level (estimated population less than 80). 1)Do you think that it is practical to use limited resources toconserve a population like the Florida panther? 2)Why?
