Example of a successful protected area + why successful
Criteria for a protected area
In Situ conservation
"On-site conservation" In the original habitat, that is protected. Wild life sanctuaries.
Flagship species
In conservation biology, a flagship species is a species chosen to raise support for biodiversity conservation in a given place or social context
Edge effect
Ex Situ conservation
"Off-Site conservation" not in the original habitat // Giant pandas in zoos for captive breeding
Umbrella species
Species for making conservation-related decisions. Protecting these species indirectly protects other species in the habitat.
Keystone species
Keystone species are species that have a high impact on an ecosystem if their populations decrease. Keystone species are critical for the overall structure and function of an ecosystem.
