Conservation

One of the main causes of current biodiversity loss is the destruction of habitats. Whether by dramatic damage or by slow decline, this process not only diminishes the world’s wealth of plants and animals, but also creates less functional landscapes that are unable to satisfy human needs.

A Rocha chooses to ground its scientific expertise and theological principles in sites. For each of A Rocha’s study and management sites listed in these web pages, the presence of a resident A Rocha team with its programme of research and conservation is working to reverse habitat decline and biodiversity loss. The sites provide case studies of wider relevance on the protection and restoration of valuable habitats and species.
