Umbrella effect (ecology)
An umbrella effect is the protection extended by the presence of an umbrella species to other species in the same habitat. The umbrella species is often either a flagship species whose conservation benefits other species or a keystone species which may be targeted for conservation due to its impact on an ecosystem. More generally, an umbrella species determines the area over which conservation occurs. They are often representative of other species in their habitat, being an easily observable and known species.
