SUS 410 - Conservation Biology4.0 Credits
Prerequisites: Prior completion of SUS 310 with a grade of C- or higher.
Explores the science and practice of biological conservation with the goal of preserving Earth’s biodiversity. Students will examine the causes of reduction in biodiversity from local to global scales, and investigate practical approaches to prevent the extinction of species, maintain genetic diversity within species, and protect and restore biological communities and their associated ecosystem functions. Conservation biology is an inter- and trans-disciplinary field that applies scientific knowledge to the process of conservation through strategies such as habitat restoration, wildlife conservation, adaptive management, and social/cultural change. This course also addresses diverse cultural approaches to conservation, including community-based natural resource management and non-western and/or indigenous approaches associated with traditional ecological knowledge. Includes laboratory and field experiences.
