Applying Landscape Ecology and Principles of Environmental Conservation to Study Wildlife Habitat Changes in Protected Areas

Biodiversity includes all plant and animal species, microorganisms, and ecosystems and their ecological processes, and its preservation are essential for human survival, economic issues, sustainability, and ecosystem function. Protected areas because of their special conditions are as virginal areas for the accumulation of biodiversity and wildlife species. But unfortunately, these areas have been destroyed in recently years that one of the reasons it is disruption and fragmentation of habitats. In this research, first the theoretical foundations of the ecology of the landscape were studied and the role of the principles of ecology of the landscape in managing the continuity and guiding the process of habitat change was stated. Finally this result was achieved that to prevent at habitat fragmentation and protected areas should manages them in the context of the landscape and in the form of integrated. Also according to existing bases it was found that landscape ecology and its principles are very convenient tool to maintain continuity landscape in wildlife habitat.
