Island conservation

Island conservation involves protecting and restoring unique ecosystems on islands, which often host rare and endangered species due to their isolation. Because islands are vulnerable to invasive species, habitat loss, and human activities, conservation efforts focus on controlling invasive species, restoring native habitats, and promoting sustainable practices. These actions help preserve biodiversity, maintain ecological balance, and ensure that both local communities and wildlife can thrive in the long term. Effective island conservation combines scientific research with community engagement to address specific environmental challenges faced by island ecosystems.
