Wildlife conservation is concerned with protecting wildlife at the level of species or perhaps population.

The North Shore of Sydney is, as I’ve often observed, a great place to watch birds. The reserve protects a stand of mahogany swamp that attracts large numbers of nectar feeding birds when they flower in the winter.
