Habitat Protection

To save a species ultimately means saving its home – the place in which it seeks shelter, forages, breeds and raises young. For some animals, a habitat might be a one-acre tract while for others, a massive, multi-national expanse. Protecting and preserving these special places is a difficult yet critical conservation challenge and a key focus
