How to protect a species

The most obvious solution is to set aside Conservation Reserves (Protectorates) where the remaining species could be protected. Endangered species could also benefit from ex situ Captive Breeding Centers where the organisms are bred and protected and Gene Banks where the seeds, pollen and embryos are conserved to be used when needed.
It is also important to recognize that the recovery of a species in the wild is impossible without the recovery of the ecosystem components, structure and processes that provide the habitat for its survival. It is therefore imperative that the whole ecosystem be protected, e.g. the Red Sea ecosystem with its precious marine life, coastal flora and fauna should be regarded as a unit which cannot be separately conserved as each component is dependent on the others and on the surrounding habitat.
