This document discusses several key topics related to conservation, including species extinction, habitat destruction, invasive species, poaching, and endangered species. It notes that species extinction is the end of an organism or group and can be caused by natural or human-related factors like pollution, exploitation, and habitat destruction, which is a primary driver of species extinction due to human activity. Invasive species are introduced outside their normal habitat and can negatively impact ecosystems. Poaching of endangered species still occurs for traditional medicine, food, and profit despite laws against hunting threatened species. The IUCN Red List categorizes extinction risk for species.

3. Introduction
 Conservation is based on the resource use, the allocation and
protection.
 Its first objective is to keep the biological diversity.
 Its second objective is the conservation of the energy.
 The people who practices the conservation are named
conservationists.

4. Species extinction
 Extinction is the end of an organism or a group of
them.
 The moment of the extinction is normally considered
as the death of the last survivor of the species.

5. Causes of the extinction
 Natural causes
 Aging
 Illness
 Other animal competence
 Natural catastrophes
 Fire
 Drought
 Hurricanes

6. Causes of the extinction
 Not natural causes
 Pollution
 Poaching
 Exploitation
 Ignorance

7. Habitat destruction
 Habitat destruction means the natural habitats that for different
reasons are unable to be used by the species.
 One of the reasons of the destruction is the human activity.
 Habitat destruction is a primary cause of species extinction.

8. Impact on organisms
 Extinction becomes more likely
 Decrease the range of certain organisms
populations

9. Solutions
 Remain intact different sections of natural habitat
 Educate the public about the importance of the nature
 Considering adding services that provide the natural
habitats prosperity

10. Invasive species
 They are species that have been introduced in a place that is not their
usual habitat
 These species produce changes to the composition and the structure of
the ecosystem
 Humans have changed their habitats, voluntarily or involuntarily

11. Conditions that lead to invasion
 Fast growth
 Rapid reproduction
 High dispersal ability

12. Stages of the invasion
 0 – No danger
 1 – Traveling
 2 – Introduced
 3 – Localized but rare
 4a – Widespread but rare
 4b – Localized and dominant
 5 – Widespread and dominant

13. Poaching
 It is the illegal taking or hunting of a big number of organisms, especially
these who are considered endangered species
 There are a lot of reasons to punish the poaching
 Illegal logging is also another form of poaching
 For example, in Philippines there are 400 animal endangered species that
are illegal to hunt

14. Traditional Chinese medicine
 It often incorporates ingredients from plants, animals
and minerals
 Parts of endangered species are used
 Poachers sell parts of these species in the black market

15. Slips of authority
 In Africa, although hunting for ivory was banned,
poaching of elefants continues.
 In the USA some endangered species are only banned
from fishing in a few states

16. Endangered species
 These species are at risk of becoming extinct, because for
different reasons
 There’s a list that has calculated the percentage of endangered
species around the world (The IUCN Red List)

17. IUCN Red List
 Extinct: Woolly mammoth, Dusky Seaside Sparroow
 Extinct in the wild: Hawaiian Crow, Wyoming Toad
 Critically endangered: Mountain gorilla, Bactrian Camel
 Endangered: Blue whale, Giant panda
 Vunerable: Cheetah, Lion
 Near threatened: American bison, Tiger shark
 Least concern: Pigeon, Giraffe
