What is Wildlife Conservation and Why does it Matter to You? (2020)

Do you want to know what wildlife conservation is? And why it matters to you in 2020? In this short video I explain what wildlife conservation is and why it matters to you, in simple terms. Whilst most of the information about conservation and why it’s important is factual, some of it will also be somewhat subjective. This is the first episode of a series called ’Conservation Basics’, in which I talk you through some of the key concepts and components of both wildlife biology and wildlife conservation today. There are many reasons why wildlife conservation is important in this day and age, however in this video I touch on just a few (3 reasons). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VIDEO FEATURES/TIME STAMPS: 0:10 - What conservation is 0:21 - Conservation biology 0:51 - Conservation and people 1:48 - Why conservation matters 1:50 - Reason 1 for why conservation matters to you 2:1
