Is the species a generalist or a specialist and how does this niche impact the species of the wild.  The giant panda, native to China, and the raccoon, native to North America, share a common ancestor. However, their current status in the wild is anything but common. Raccoons are thriving. Opportunists by nature, raccoons forage on a variety of plants and animals in their ecosystem. Highly inquisitive and intelligent, raccoons use their opposable thumbs to crack open shells, investigate dens, and sift through rocky streams in search of crayfish. Although their habitats are shrinking, raccoons have adapted well to human encroachment and will actively seek food and shelter among the human community

Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.
