Species that are especially interesting or attractive organisms to which people react emotionally. These species can motivate the public to preserve biodiversity and contribute to conservation. Species tied to specific biotic communities or successional stages or a set of environmental conditions. They can be reliably found under certain conditions but not others. Species that require large blocks of relatively undisturbed habitat to maintain viable populations. Saving this habitat also benefits other species.Match each of the options above to the items below.Keystone speciesIndicator speciesUmbrella speciesFlagship species
