Endangered Species Questions
The concept of flagship species in conservation refers to the use of certain charismatic or iconic species to raise awareness and support for the conservation of their habitats and the overall biodiversity of an ecosystem. These flagship species are often chosen based on their aesthetic appeal, cultural significance, or ecological importance, and they serve as ambassadors for broader conservation efforts. By focusing on the conservation of flagship species, conservationists aim to generate public interest, funding, and political will to protect not only these species but also the entire ecosystems they inhabit.
