The ten-year cycles of the populations of the snowshoe hare and Canada lynx were first recorded from fur returns of Hudson's Bay Company traders in the late 1800s. The cycles revolve around the lynx's preference for hares over other animals as a food source. This predator-prey relationship is again being studied by the Northwest Territories Department of Renewable Resources, in an area known as the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary. 1991 1992 N = 19 100 100 km N = 3 100 kam 100 km Legend:a =I Lynx la.

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.
