Preferred term

endangered species protection  

Definition(s)

  • Endangered species protection is the subfield of environmental governance concerned with developing policies to address the loss of species (both plants and animals) caused by human activities. Historically, threatened species constituted the first environmental issue, in that this issue first brought home the realization of the need to protect a natural environment threatened by excessive exploitation.
