This document discusses several topics related to animal conservation: 1) It defines conservation as attempting to prevent animal species from going extinct, and defines endangered species as those at risk of extinction. 2) It discusses achievements in conservation, like laws protecting endangered species, and encourages public involvement through organizations like Biosphere Expeditions. 3) It explains that climate change is a major threat causing more species to become endangered due to rising temperatures interfering with reproduction.

1. CONSERVATION
OF ANIMALS

2. What is conservation is animals?
• it is attempting to ensure that
the particular species of
animals you are conserving
does not die out.

3. ENDANGERED SPECIES
• An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at
risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in numbers, or
threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters. The
International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has calculated
the percentage of endangered species as 40 percent of all organisms
based on the sample of species that have been evaluated through
2006.2
• Many nations have laws offering protection to
conservation reliant species: for example, forbidding hunting,
restricting land development or creating preserves.
• Only a few of the many species at risk of extinction actually make it
to the lists and obtain legal protection like Pandas. Many more
species become extinct, or potentially will become extinct, without
gaining public notice.[]

4. ABOUT ACHIEVEMENTS
GET INVOLVED
• Inspiring Conservation
Biosphere Expeditions is a multi-award-winning not-for-profit participatory
conservation organization offering hands-on wildlife volunteer expeditions
as an adventure with a purpose for everyone.
Biosphere Expeditions’ citizen science is for people from all walks of life
who want to help support and conserve the biosphere that we all live in.
Biosphere Expeditions gives people a way to harness their enthusiasm
and put it to good effect by coming to work on voluntourism projects
simply using the money and time that they would have spent going on an
ordinary holiday.
You can join our volunteer vacations for anything from a weekend to
several months and at least two-thirds of your volunteer holiday
contribution will go directly into the wildlife conservation project locally,
funding it long-term and sustainable.

5. CONSERVATION STATUS
• The conservation status of a species is an
indicator of the likelihood of that endangered
species not living. Many factors are taken
into account when assessing the
conservation status of a species; not simply
the number remaining, but the overall
increase or decrease in the population over
time, breeding success rates, known threats,
and so on.
• Internationally, 199 countries have signed an
accord agreeing to create
Biodiversity Action Plans to protect
endangered and other threatened species. In
the United States this plan is usually called a
species Recovery Plan.

were able to survive in their natural habitat. However the
rapid increase of climate change has put animals at risk
of becoming extinct. Nigel Stork in the article “Re-
assessing Extinction Rate” explains, “the key cause of
extinction being climate change, and in particular rising
temperatures, rather than deforestation alone.” Stork
believes climate change is the major issue as to why
species are becoming endangered. Stork claims rising
temperature on a local and global level are making it
harder for species to reproduce. As global warming
continues, species are no longer able to survive and their
kind starts to deteriorate. This is a repeating cycle that
is starting to increase at a rapid rate because of climate
change therefore landing many species on the
endangered species list. 3

7. ANIMAL WELFARE
• Conservation and animal welfare are
similar causes with many overlaps.
However, there are occasions when
the two concepts conflict.
Conservation is focused on the
survival of species in the wild, while
animal welfare is concerned with the
well-being of individual anima

8. • One example of this conflict relates to the attitude
toward zoos. Modern zoos focus on conservation,
especially of species which are endangered in the wild.
In addition, they reconnect urban people with nature and
wildlife. For these reasons, conservationists strongly
support zoos and the work they do. On the other hand,
life in captivity is not considered to be in the welfare of
individual animals. Because of this, many animal welfare
organizations disapprove of zoos, whose main goal (as
they see it) is to entertain people.
• Another example of this conflict is when conservationists
support killing animals in order to protect another
species. For instance, killing feral cats to protect
declining song birds. While this may be a good thing for
the environment as a whole, it is clearly not a good thing
for the feral cats.
•
The conflict between these two causes often causes
political battles, with each cause trying to prevent the
other from accomplishing its goals. Support for
conservation is easier to garner than support for animal
welfare. Conservation is important to humans, since it
serves them, but issues concerning the welfare of
animals alone are low-down on people's priorities.

9. • The way to solve this conflict is
through cooperation of animal
welfare organizations with
conservationists. Both causes could
work together to find a balance in
each case between the needs of the
individual animal and the needs of
the species as a whole. After all,
both conservation and animal
welfare are motivated by the same
principle: respect for all living
things.
