Ecology and Conservation Biology: Overview
To improve global environmental conditions, the world needs scientists and other citizens who understand ecological principles, can analyze and interpret ecological conditions, and predict the consequences of alternative natural resource management decisions. Understanding the impact of social values and policy on the ecology and management of rare, threatened, and endangered species and their habitat is necessary if we are to reverse their decline.
In the Ecology and Conservation Biology program, students learn to solve ecological, social, and political problems related to biological diversity. Long-term conservation and sustainable management of wildland ecosystems are the primary objectives of this degree.
