Conservation biology is the study of the conservation of nature and of Earth's biodiversity with the aim of protecting species, their habitats, and ecosystems from excessive rates of extinction and the erosion of biotic interactions.
Biologi konservasi adalah sebuah studi mengenai alam dan status dari keanekaragaman hayati bumi dengan tujuan melindungi spesies, habitat, dan ekosistem hewan dan tumbuhan dari laju kepunahan dan erosi interaksi biotik.
The term conservation biology and its conception as a new field originated with the convening of "The First International Conference on Research in Conservation Biology" held at the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla, California, in 1978 led by American biologists Bruce A. Wilcox and Michael E. Soulé with a group of leading university and zoo researchers and conservationists including Kurt Benirschke, Sir Otto Frankel, Thomas Lovejoy, and Jared Diamond.
Istilah biologi konservasi sebagai bidang baru dan segala konsep di dalamnya bermula dari diselenggarakannya “The First International Conference on Research in Conservation Biology” yang diadakan di Universitas California, San Diego, La Jolla, California, pada tahun 1978.
The meeting was prompted due to concern over tropical deforestation, disappearing species, and eroding genetic diversity within species.
Konferensi tersebut dilatarbelakangi oeh keprihatinan atas deforestasi hutan tropis, hilangnya spesies, dan mengikisnya keragaman genetik dalam spesies.
The conference and proceedings that resulted sought to initiate the bridging of a gap between theory in ecology and evolutionary genetics on the one hand and conservation policy and practice on the other.
Konferensi dan temuan-temuan yang dihasilkan berusaha untuk memulai menjembatani kesenjangan antara teori dalam ekologi dan genetika evolusioner di satu sisi dan kebijakan dan praktik konservasi di sisi lain.
Conservation biology and the concept of biological diversity (biodiversity) emerged together, helping crystallize the modern era of conservation science and policy.
Biologi konservasi dan konsep keanekaragaman hayati (biodiversity) muncul bersamaan, membantu memperjelas ilmu dan kebijakan konservasi di era modern.
The inherent multidisciplinary basis for conservation biology has led to new subdisciplines including conservation social science, conservation behavior and conservation physiology.
Dasar multidisiplin yang melekat untuk biologi konservasi mlahirkan subdisiplin baru termasuk ilmu sosial konservasi, perilaku konservasi dan fisiologi konservasi.
Conservation biology is concerned with phenomena that affect the maintenance, loss, and restoration of biodiversity and the science of sustaining evolutionary processes that engender genetic, population, species, and ecosystem diversity.
Biologi konservasi adalah sebuah studi mengenai alam dan status dari keanekaragaman hayati bumi dengan tujuan melindungi spesies, habitat, dan ekosistem hewan dan tumbuhan dari laju kepunahan dan erosi interaksi biotik.
