Conservation Biology encompasses policies and practices related to wildlife management and restoration biology, and to preservation through zoos and botanical gardens. More broadly, conservation biologists are concerned with preserving biodiversity in a world with expanding human disturbance. Course content will include the general foundations of conservation biology, approaches to conservation, and the importance of, and threats to, biodiversity. Through lectures and discussions of research articles and videos, we will explore how conservation biology can be applied to our careers and personal lives.
