It is an interdisciplinary subject drawing on natural and social sciences, and the practice of natural resource management.

Today our technology smoothes out the extremes of existence and allows many of us to live longer, more comfortable lives, but ultimately the human species cannot exist without its surrounding ecosystems.

Agriculture began after early hunter-gatherer societies first settled in one place and heavily modified their immediate environment: the ecosystem in which they existed. This cultural transition has made it difficult for humans to recognize their dependence on living things other than crops and domesticated animals on the planet.

The main aim of conservation biology is to ensure the long-term preservation of biodiversity.

This cultural transition has made it difficult for humans to recognize their dependence on undomesticated living things on the planet. Biologists recognize the human species is embedded in ecosystems and is dependent on them, just as every other species on the planet is dependent.

Each has value to humans. Threats to biodiversity include habitat loss, pollution, overexploitation, invasive species, and climate change. A variety of approaches, including legislation and ecosystem restoration, address these threats.
