The Endangered Species Act is analogous to Schindler's List

Article Abstract:

The movie 'Schindler's List' suggests a change in tactics for conservation biology. Schindler was successful at saving Jews because he exploited the weaknesses of the system rather than directly opposing it. Conservation biologists should consider a similar approach. Perhaps species that are thriving could be used to help native species that are in decline. Conservation biology could be applied to urban and suburban sites to provide habitats for endangered or threatened species.

Predicting effects of predation on conservation of endangered prey

Article Abstract:

Evaluation of predator behavior is needed to develop endangered species conservation policies. Criteria should assess per capita prey rates of change according to density, predation magnitude and whether predation is density-dependent or depensatory. Possible responses include habitat manipulation, predator removal and establishing reintroduction thresholds to decrease the vulnerability of the prey.

Economic science, endangered species, and biodiversity loss

Article Abstract:

This article dwells on the issue of preserving biological assets as economic investments and argues that ethical aspects of biodiversity conservation have also be taken into account in the formulation of conservation strategies.
