Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

Overall impressions

What are the strengths of the content added?
How can the content added be improved?

Link to the current version of the article (if it exists): Conservation biology

Evaluate the drafted changes

Some good changes could be made to the article involving both the information and the references used. Several references extend to over a century old, such as some of the ones utilized for defining conservation biology. While the information may still be useful and good for a historical perspective, in makes sense to think that the idea of what the field encompasses has changed and therefore a more updated definition could be utilized as well. Several data points and their references are also linked to the 2000s, like those that discuss biodiversity, and I believe updating the information would be good to demonstrate are more truthful and correct article along with demonstrating the current conditions of the world, or at least a more current condition. The images that deal with information, such as the 2016 image discussing the ecosystem vitality objectives, could be updated to fit the more modern times as well. While this image is dated to 2016, a several year skip could mean rather drastic changes has occurred and should be reported.

Some areas of the article could use some information as well. An addition discussing some modern major events in the field could be beneficial along with expanded information of the history of the field discussing more important individuals. A very interesting part of the page involves the heading :Economic values and natural capital" and that information could be further discussed along with the societal/personal affects of the conservation biology. If available, some information could be presented about the ecological damage affects certain groups of people more than others.
