Hello Bhs; Well, I imaging that depends on our individual skills and interests. My research is in ant ecology and I hope that some of that contributes to conservation in my region. In addition, as a hobby, I like to participate in citizen science projects on Zooniverse that need wildlife camera images identified. That contributes to the work of other researchers. These are small things but each of them adds to the overall effort. Best regards, Jim Des Lauriers
I think this matter is possible in stable countries. that means limited people increase, area investment, pollution , law application.... . ecosystem preservation can aid the biodiversity..
The only way to guarantee that biodiversity will have a place to survive and thrive, and get restored over time, is for each country to set up "Ecological Restoration Preserves", and start the massively expensive process of restoration.
The worldwide cost to purchase, preserve, protect and restore biodiversity is going to dwarf anything that any country has ever paid for in the past, but if we are serious about preserving biodiversity, the price must be paid.
These Ecological Restoration Preserves are not "National Parks" like in the USA, these are not "Nature Reserves" like in Europe, these are not "Protected Areas" like in China, these are not the "Biosphere Reserves" like in India--because there is little to no Ecological Restoration going in these other areas.
Working with Saudi Arabia , in August 2010 they set aside 200 million acres of the world's largest Ecological Restoration Preserves. And then this year, the Saudis started planting 10 billion trees, that you can read about at https://www.ecoseeds.com/Saudi-note-final.pdf - That project got started with my 2002 proposal at https://www.ecoseeds.com/cool.html
We need to set aside as Ecological Restoration Preserves, another one billion acres of the Northern Hemisphere deserts, and pay the local people to replant the grasses, wildflowers, trees and shrubs, so we can generate carbon credits, to be able to sell "Carbon Neutral" fossil fuel products.
