Difference between conservation and preservation:
Conservation you make efforts to control the area, where preservation you leave the area
untouched.

Natural: without changing conditions. Manipulative: changing conditions, controlled
studies, blind experiments, double blinded.

all organisms of the same kind that are genetically similar enough to breed and produce
fertile offspring.
Population
all members of a species living in a given area at the same time.
