Description: The core mission of conservation organizations is to preserve plants, animals, and their habitats. How do we best go about this essential work? Over four class sessions, we discuss the definition of "biodiversity", why we care about it as a society, the pervasive threats, and on-the-ground solutions. Using power-point presentations to illustrate concepts and case studies, instructor Frances Clark covers protection strategies and stewardship tools. Learn how climate change alters our thinking of traditional conservation approaches. Obtain a background in the principles of conservation biology for you to become a more effective conservation advocate. Pre-registration is necessary.
