Although the demands on land - for
agriculture, mining and building - are

because humans usually place their own
requirements above those of wildlife. As a
result, the conservation managers must be

plans to conserve individual species.
Some examples of species conservation are outlined
on the map on the opposite page. In each case, note
that there is a reason why the species is endangered.
There is also a suggested management plan to try to
maintain a breeding population of the species under
