The measure of biodiversity or the total variability of life forms on Earth is known as global biodiversity. Extinction and speciation have a substantial effect on global biodiversity. Besides these, some of the major drivers of change to biodiversity are habitat change, pollution, climate change, invasive species and overexploitation. Some of the categories of diversity are ecological, morphological, taxonomic and genetic diversity. Conservation biology is concerned with the study of the phenomena that affect the loss, maintenance and restoration of biodiversity. An understanding of indicator species, keystone species and umbrella and flagship species is vital to the study of biodiversity and its conservation. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of ecological conservation. It also provides comprehensive insights into global biodiversity. This book will serve as a resource guide for ecologists, environmentalists, conservation biologists, researchers, experts and students associated with this field.
