Conservation genetics is a multidisciplinary approach that combines molecular techniques, genetics, and ecology to preserve the genetic diversity of endangered species and their habitats. Synonyms for conservation genetics include population genetics, genetic conservation, biodiversity conservation, wildlife genetics, conservation genomics, and genetic restoration. These terms refer to the application of genetics and genomics in the conservation of endangered and threatened species, their habitats, and the ecosystems they depend on. Conservation genetics aims to understand the underlying genetic factors of species survival, genetic diversity, and genetic adaptation, to ensuring the persistence and resilience of the natural world for future generations.
