Advancements in Molecular Techniques for Wildlife Conservation

Abstract

: Wildlife conservation has increasingly relied on molecular techniques to monitor biodiversity, assess genetic diversity, and design effective conservation strategies. This article explores recent advancements in molecular tools, such as DNA barcoding, genetic fingerprinting, and genomics, and their applications in wildlife conservation. It discusses how these techniques have enhanced our understanding of species identification, population dynamics, and the impact of habitat fragmentation. The article also examines the role of molecular techniques in managing conservation efforts, such as reintroduction programs, genetic rescue, and monitoring endangered species.
