Since the defintion of species itself is often unclear I think it is important that we take another look at how we should be conserving our endemic organisms. One possible course of action would be to focus less on the individual species and more on big picture conservation. By that I mean we should recognize the habitats that are carrying most of our species at risk and work hard to protect those. Mother Nature knows how to fend for herself, the harm we cause as a byproduct of our greedy living could be combatted by more protected and well preserved areas. We will not eradicate the issue if we focus on things like breeding efforts or rehabilitation, these individuals need a place to live that will sustain them or else we are just putting these individuals back out to the environment that hurt them in the first place. This might be why we currently feel like we aren’t getting anywhere. Protecting and taking care of certain habitats as opposed to individual species is the future of conservation in my opinion.
