INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO ZOOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN ENHANCING BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION AND ECOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING
Keywords:
Zoological Research, Biodiversity Conservation, Ecological Understanding, AI-Assisted Monitoring, Habitat Restoration, DNA BarcodingAbstract
Zoological research plays a pivotal role in biodiversity conservation and ecological understanding. Recent innovations, such as AI-assisted wildlife monitoring, DNA barcoding, and habitat restoration technologies, have revolutionized the field, fostering sustainable conservation practices. This paper explores these advancements, emphasizing their practical applications and implications. Literature supports these findings, illustrating how scientific and technological progress enhances ecological outcomes. By integrating modern tools and traditional practices, researchers can address challenges in biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation effectively.
