Conservation Strategies Flashcards

1️⃣ Familiarise yourself with the flashcards:

Look through all the flashcards to see what's on both sides.
Make sure you understand the information on each card. If something's unclear, click the link to the revision notes at the bottom of the page for more details.

2️⃣ Test yourself:

Look at the question or prompt on each card and try to remember the answer before flipping it over.
Check the answer and make a note of any cards you find challenging and need to go over more.

3️⃣ Consistently Review and Practice:

Use spaced repetition: spend more time on the cards you struggle with and go over them more often.
Regularly review all the flashcards to help you better understand and retain the information over time.

In biology, what does conservation mean?

Conservation means protecting ecosystems, habitats and species so they can survive.

They are needed to slow the loss of species and habitats and to keep biodiversity.

They protect whole habitats from building, farming or hunting, so many species can live safely.

Captive breeding is when endangered animals are bred in zoos or wildlife parks.

They increase the number of a species and can allow animals to be released back into the wild.

A seed bank is a store of seeds kept in cold, dry conditions for many years.

They keep plant species safe from extinction and preserve genetic variation for the future.

Laws can ban hunting, protect important habitats and control trade in endangered species.

Habitat restoration means repairing damaged ecosystems, for example by replanting native trees or wildflowers.

Education helps people understand why species matter and shows them how to protect local wildlife.
