According to the theory of island biogeography multiple small conservation areas will protect species better than one large area of the same size. species on islands far from the mainland are at the least risk of extinction. when conservation areas are close to each other, more species will persist. edge habitat is important to protect for increased diversity.

The above theory is followed by all the conservations. All the wildlife works according to it. If they fail to follow this theory the survival becomes hard.

Explanation:

This theory states that if we divide a big conservation area into small area of equal sizes it will be easy to serve to the animals and the whole wildlife. A big conservation area consumes much of the natural resources when compared to the small areas of equal sizes.

Also for taking account off the animals and keeping the record of them becomes easy in small size area as compared to the big conservation areas. All the government schemes are followed easily if we divide a bi conservation area into small area of equal sizes.
