Island conservation focuses on protecting fragile ecosystems that host unique species found nowhere else on Earth. Because islands are isolated, their plants and animals are highly vulnerable to threats such as invasive species, habitat loss, and climate change. Conservation efforts often include removing invasive predators, restoring native habitats, and working with local communities to promote sustainable practices. These actions help rebuild biodiversity, strengthen ecosystem resilience, and prevent extinctions. By safeguarding island environments, conservationists not only preserve natural heritage but also support livelihoods and protect critical resources such as fisheries and clean water systems.
