6.3 Saving Wild Species
Conservation biology is the branch of science that is most focused on the protection of populations + species.
Conservation biologists use techniques such as captive breeding, telemetry (transmitting data through remote communication) and tracking devices in order to learn more about natural history of species + to protect those vanishing.
Endangered species legislation - Lacey act (first national act that gave protection to wildlife), Endangered Species Act (Mandates protection of species and their habitats that are determined to be in danger of extinction) Alternatives/Roadblocks - special interest groups
Hunting - Game animals - are hunted for sport (no hunting restrictions previously, State laws + NGOs fund management today) (Seems to work for Wild Turkeys)

5.3 Ecosystems to Biomes
Biome - large geographical biotic community, controlled by climate. Named after dominant type of vegetation.
Climate of a given region is a description of average temperature and precipitation (weather) which may be expected each day throughout the year.
Equatorial regions - continuously warm with little seasonal change in temp. Above + below equator - temp become increasingly seasonal.
Terrestrial biomes - individual ranges of tolerances (temp and weather), determine whether dominant species can live. The distribution of species describes placement of biomes.
