invertebrate conservation

Invertebrate conservation focuses on protecting animals without backbones—such as insects, worms, mollusks, and crustaceans—that play essential roles in ecosystems. These creatures help pollinate plants, decompose organic matter, and support food webs. Because many invertebrates face threats like habitat loss, pollution, and climate change, conserving them is vital for ecological health and biodiversity. Efforts include habitat preservation, legal protections, research, and raising awareness to ensure these often-overlooked species continue to thrive, benefiting overall environmental stability and human well-being.
