Traditional Wildlife Conservation and Management consists of the study of wild animals, their biology and the interrelationships with each other, with humans, and with the physical and biological environment that makes up their habitat. Managers and biologists are concerned with maintaining species diversity, improving conditions for declining and endangered species, and managing populations that are hunted or fished. In recent years, zoological parks and aquaria have played an increasing and important role in conservation from education to active roles in captive breeding.
