ABSTRACT

Conservation of natural resources is the wise use of the earth's resources by humanity. Usher (2000) defined conservation as the maintenance of genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity in the natural abundance in which they occur. Thomas (2003) sees conservation as the sacrifice of immediate rewards in return for delayed ones. As the global human population approaches eight billion, there is growing concern about the rate of extinction of other species that inhabit our planet (Barnosky et al., 2011; Dirzo et al., 2014). Compelling evidence points to humans as the direct or indirect cause of most modern extinctions. The primary threats to these species include residential and commercial development; overexploitation via fishing, hunting, or collecting; disturbance by humans during work and recreational activities; pollution; and the introduction of exotic species (Venter et al., 2006; Prugh et al., 2010; McCune et al., 2013).
