Summary Introduction

To determine:

The effect of isolated small reserves on the genetic diversity of endangered species.

Introduction:

Genetic diversity gives special characteristics to the species, make them unique, genetic diversity is the reason species adapt and survive in the harsh conditions. The isolated Small reserve has a small population of many species and area, due to a reduction in population and absence of gene flow can lead to reductions in the genetic diversity of endangered species, reduced genetic diversity can lead to species extinction and reduction in reproduction.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Effects of genetic diversity on the species when small reserves are connected with wildlife corridors.

Introduction:

Genetic diversity gives special characteristics to the species, make them unique, genetic diversity is the reason species adapt and survive in the harsh conditions. The isolated Small reserve has a small area, human’s activity is not allowed there. Wildlife corridors allow the movement of species in a protective manner from one place to another. Generally, small population lose genetic diversity easily through genetic drift but wildlife corridors help them to migrate from one place to another place which helps species to reduce the genetic drift and maintain genetic diversity
