<P> There is a movement in conservation biology suggesting a new form of leadership is needed to mobilize conservation biology into a more effective discipline that is able to communicate the full scope of the problem to society at large . The movement proposes an adaptive leadership approach that parallels an adaptive management approach . The concept is based on a new philosophy or leadership theory steering away from historical notions of power, authority, and dominance . Adaptive conservation leadership is reflective and more equitable as it applies to any member of society who can mobilize others toward meaningful change using communication techniques that are inspiring, purposeful, and collegial . Adaptive conservation leadership and mentoring programs are being implemented by conservation biologists through organizations such as the Aldo Leopold Leadership Program . </P> <P> Conservation may be classified as either in - situ conservation, which is protecting an endangered species in its natural habitat, or ex-situ conservation, which occurs outside the natural habitat . In - situ conservation involves protecting or restoring the habitat . Ex-situ conservation, on the other hand, involves protection outside of an organism's natural habitat, such as on reservations or in gene banks, in circumstances where viable populations may not be present in the natural habitat . </P> <P> Also, non-interference may be used, which is termed a preservationist method . Preservationists advocate for giving areas of nature and species a protected existence that halts interference from the humans . In this regard, conservationists differ from preservationists in the social dimension, as conservation biology engages society and seeks equitable solutions for both society and ecosystems . Some preservationists emphasize the potential of biodiversity in a world without humans . </P> <P> Conservation biologists are interdisciplinary researchers that practice ethics in the biological and social sciences . Chan states that conservationists must advocate for biodiversity and can do so in a scientifically ethical manner by not promoting simultaneous advocacy against other competing values . </P>

How can the goals of conservation biology be obtained
