Conservation Science for Sustaining Biodiversity

The course covers the concepts of biological diversity, anthropogenic mass extinction, and sustainable solutions to the biodiversity crisis. Current research studies on biological diversity are used to help students learn to find out, discuss, synthesise, and report orally and in writing how biological diversity can be sustained. Students present and discuss relevant research articles in seminars, and complete a group project on a relevant issue of their own choice and present their results orally and in writing.
