The beginning of the lead does a good job of summarizing the overall definition of the topic. The last sentence regarding conservation ethic seems very out of place since there is no context given. It is good that the link is given, but it would be very helpful to the reader to describe what it is and how it is based on conservation biology. The main section of the conservation ethic does not include as much information and background as the other main headings. Given this, the sentence in the lead gives the reader a false impression of its importance, so it would either need to be deleted or extremely edited. Also, it would be helpful for the reader if you included some specific examples of ecological monitoring, like species specific scenarios or a case in which this monitoring changed how the environment was being treated. The section of the conservation of parasites needs to be expanded. If more information is needed, you could write about the impact losing some of these parasitic species could have and there large role in the ecosystem. Overall, good history of the topic is given. Some of the references are dated or missing information and need to be updated. Reference 9: is this the appropriate method of citation? It seems very difficult for the reader to actually find this reference.
