Summary Introduction
To review:
The criteria used by conservation biologists to recognize the sites where extinctions are significant.
Introduction:
Conservation biology is the that which deals with the protection of species, ecosystems, and habitats of the species that forms the part of biodiversity. Researchers who study conservation biology are considered as conservation biologists. They provide critical feedbacks upon the status of various organisms in the ecosystem and approach to provide solution in order to protect the earth as a whole.
