The study of living organisms is divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behaviour, origin, and distribution.

"The biology of the Chesapeake Bay": the plants and animals of a particular area.

"human biology”: the physiology, behaviour, and other qualities of a particular organism or class of organisms.

Nature conservation is the moral philosophy and conservation movement focused on protecting species from extinction, maintaining and restoring habitats, enhancing ecosystem services, and protecting biological diversity.

Conservation biology is the study of the conservation of nature and of Earth's biodiversity with the aim of protecting species, their habitats, and ecosystems from excessive rates of extinction and the erosion of biotic interactions. The study of the loss of Earth's biological diversity and the ways this loss can be prevented.

Biological diversity, or biodiversity, is the variety of life either in a particular place or on the entire planet Earth, including its ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Examples include nutrient cycling, soil respiration, pollination, fire disturbances, food web dynamics, and symbiotic relationships between species. For every species of concern, conservation biologists conduct a population viability analysis (PVA) to collect the following information: level of extinction risk.

Conservation biology is a mission-oriented science that focuses on how to protect and restore biodiversity, or the diversity of life on Earth. Like medical research, conservation biology deals with issues where quick action is critical and the consequences of failure are great.

Conservation biology is an applied science based on ecological principles that focuses on conserving biological diversity and on restoring degraded ecosystems.
