1 spatial
ditterent sized areas used in conservation bio to look at a conservation issue (ex
. scales
a forest or a hectare of forest
2 conservation biol-conservation bio isn't just a species count on a
. small spatial scale, but over a
ogy and spatiallarge spatial scale
scales
3. conservation bio a crisis discipline
is a ... discipline how to restore ecosystem in the face of challenges
4. what are the biodiversity
main issues that loss
conser- vation extinction
bio focuses on? habitat degradation + loss
exploitation
invasive
species
5. what is climate
conserva- tion change
biology de-
fined by? the end goal, not the discipline

9. what epoch do 15. first mass extinc- tion
sci- entists
suggest we are
in?
10. what is the 16.
official epoch
we are in
11. why do
scientists
suggest we're
liv- ing in the
anthro-
pocene?
12. what is the
carry- ing
capacity of the
earth and have
we exceeded it?
13. what is
different with
this possi- ble
6th extinction
event?
14. how many past
mass
extinctions
have there
been?

, the anthropocene epoch 2 consecutive mass extinctions
resulted in elimination of around 60-70% of all species on
earth massive glaciation and sea-level drop, continental drift
the holocene
began 11,700 years ago, after
the last ice age
because human activity has
been the major influence on
climate and biodiver- sity on
global spatial scales
the carrying capacity is 2.8 billion
people
the current population is too
large to be supported by earth's
natural resources
humans have sped up the rate
of extinction
we have caused this event, which
didn't happen with the other 5
events
