Abstract
In this chapter, we listed three important species and population as typical cases of species and population conservation. Mangrove, as a special ecosystem in the edge of the land and sea, has been conducted plenty of in-depth researches for a long time. Here, we tease and describe the historical perspectives and current status of mangrove ecological research. In addition, the protection consciousness of the ecological environment and biodiversity has gradually improved during the development process of biological industry. Sericulture, as a traditional industry, played an important role in the economic, culture, and social development in China at one time. In recent years, researches have been focused on the multiple ecological functions of mulberry, such as windbreak and sand-fixation, soil and water conservation, etc. Rubber is a typical tropical cash crop, and natural rubber is an important industrial raw materials and strategic resources. The sustainable management on rubber ecosystem has been reinforced at the same time of natural rubber industry development.
