| BIOL 393 - Wildlife Management and Conservation Topics |
|
An opportunity to explore the most current wildlife management and conservation issues and evaluate potential solutions. Wildlife issues are complex and require the integration of skills in data analysis, adaptive management planning, cost-benefit analyses, and collaborative decision-making. Due to the dynamic nature of environmental, political, and social pressures, the issues are ever-changing and are selected from professional wildlife publications and proposed regulatory changes. Topics range from global to local and may include: emerging wildlife diseases, endangered species regulatory review, climate adaptation for wildlife management plans, predator expansions into urban environments, exotic species invasions, and genetic techniques for wildlife conservation. Students read scientific literature, engage in group discussions and project planning, and summarize the science, issues, plans and decisions in written formats. Note: Students may not receive credit for both this course and BIOL 360 Wildlife Management & Conservation Topics.
