What are umbrella species?
Manage episode 444113661 series 3362640
Within an ecosystem there are many different species, and it can be difficult for conservationists to come up with specific strategies to protect every single one of them. That’s why some have started focusing on umbrella species, because of the benefits that protecting them has for other co-occurring species.
It’s as if they’re putting an umbrella over the entire surrounding ecosystem. They help conservationists select locations for reserves, establish the minimum size, and to generally better understand ecosystems i.e. their composition, structure and processes.
What are some examples of umbrella species? Funny, a lot of those are also the most popular species in humans’ eyes, aren’t they? What about umbrella species in Europe? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
