Stofnverndars
Stofnverndars is a term of Icelandic origin referring to conservation efforts focused on the protection and maintenance of animal populations. This concept encompasses a broad range of activities aimed at ensuring the long-term survival and health of species, particularly those facing threats such as habitat loss, overhunting, or pollution. The term literally translates to "stock protection" or "species protection."
In practice, stofnverndars can involve scientific research to understand population dynamics, genetic diversity, and ecological needs.
The underlying principle of stofnverndars is to manage and safeguard animal populations as valuable natural resources
