Custodial Protection
Habitat Conservation
Introduction
Ø Habitat is the type of environment where certain types of
organisms resides in.
Ø Almost anything can be a habitat.
Ø Some organisms are only indigenous to a type of habitat
and when destroyed, it will lead to the organisms dying
as well.
Ø More than 80% of animals and plants extinction comes
from habitat destruction.
Ø Conservation practices must be placed in order to prevent
such things from occurring.
Even a fallen leaf contains hundreds
to thousands of organisms
Global warming Overpopulation
Main Factors of Habitat
Destruction
Deforestation Pollution (air, water, soil)
Solutions
With the loss of habitats comes extinction of plants and animals and
imbalance of the ecosystem. If the global ecosystem collapsed, we
will be seriously affected as well and thus, we have a duty to prevent
it, or rather, to conserve and protect it.
Zone identification
Case-Study: Virgin River Watershed
Habitat Conservation Plan
Background Information
The Virgin River houses diverse
wildlife species, including
endangered ones.
Rapid population growth created
a need for housing
development.
Habitat conservation must be
utilised to save the
endangered animals and
plants.
Case-Study: Virgin River Watershed
Habitat Conservation Plan
Conservation Action
Local zone identification – the people in-charge of this project
there used technology, primarily a computer program to detect
endangered species at different part of the Virgin River
Watershed. This allowed development in areas where the
habitats of those species would not be affected.
Public awareness and education – locals were taught about how
agricultural affected the surrounding land and soil (pollution,
contamination) and allow them to understand it will harm the
endangered species there.
Public participation – locals agreed to move their agricultural after
being provided with some incentives and knowledge about
conservation.
