habitat conservation
Preserving wildlife environments
Habitat conservation is the practice of protecting natural environments to preserve the plants and animals that live there.
It ranges from setting aside wilderness areas to restoring degraded ecosystems: The wetland was purchased for habitat conservation.
The term emphasizes place over species—the idea that saving habitats saves everything in them.
