This course presents an integrated ecosystem
approach to conservation. Guiding principles of conservation biology,
particularly landscape ecology precepts and conservation planning, are
discussed and developed into an implementation framework. The course integrates
ecological theory and application, theory and practice of public involvement,
and adaptive management. Participants learn strategic methods to implement
ecological principles through comprehensive class exercises using a hypothetical
but realistic ecosystem conservation scenario.
College Credit: 2 semester hours
Who Should Attend: Biologists, land managers, planners, and policy makers.
