Economic zoology and biodiversity conservation together represent an emerging interdisciplinary domain that links ecological integrity with sustainable economic development. This theoretical framework focuses on understanding how zoological resources contribute to human welfare and how economic activities, in turn, influence biodiversity patterns. It integrates the principles of ecology, economics, and environmental science to evaluate the monetary and non-monetary value of living resources. The discussion emphasizes the importance of bio economic models in assessing species conservation, ecosystem services, and long-term ecological sustainability. By connecting biodiversity management with economic incentives and policy mechanisms, the framework promotes efficient resource utilization and equitable benefit sharing. It also explores the need for institutional support, global cooperation, and adaptive governance to mitigate biodiversity loss and strengthen ecological resilience. Overall, the approach underscores that biodiversity conservation is not merely an ecological obligation but also a vital economic strategy essential for maintaining sustainable livelihoods and global environmental balance.
