Describe how a greater prairie chicken population was rescued from an extinction vortex. steps that are used to analyze declining populations and determine possible interventions in the declining-population approach. Describe the case of the red-cockaded woodpecker to illustrate this approach. conflicting demands that accompany species conservation. at the Community, Ecosystem, and Landscape Levels corridors can strongly influence landscape biodiversity. hot spots and explain why they are important. reserves must be functional parts of landscapes. reserves and explain why they are important. ecology and describe its goals. of bioremediation and biological augmentation of ecosystem processes in restoration efforts. adaptive management. sustainable development. the Sustainable Biosphere Initiative. and explain why the concept gives some biologists hope.
