課程概述 |
Conservation biology is a multidisciplinary field that has evolved in response to the urgent need to address the increasing loss of biological diversity. This course is structured around the fundamental principles of conservation biology, as encapsulated by its two primary objectives: 1. Evaluating the human impacts on biological diversity, and 2. Developing pragmatic strategies to avert species extinction.
The course commences by delving into the pivotal issues that underpin the science and practice of preserving Earth's rich biological diversity. It navigates through an array of topics encompassing the various threats that each species, population, or ecosystem faces. Subsequently, the course elucidates how conservation biologists integrate conservation policy with theories and employ diverse methodologies for analysis and problem-solving. In addition to engaging lectures, the course will foster discussions on real-world case studies and the formulation of conservation policies. |
課程目標 |
After completing this course, students will be able to:
1.Explain the basic concepts of ecology and how they are related to the science of conservation biology
2.Address the threats faced by particular species, communities and ecosystems
3.Evaluate the conservation issue from the perspectives of biological and social sciences
4.Identify, interpret and communicate the conservation issue in recent times |
課程要求 |
The course will be delivered in a blended and interactive approach, combining lectures, tours, group presentations, and classroom discussions. Therefore, active participation is expected. To ensure the course contents fit students from diverse backgrounds, we recommend the students to take course on biodiversity or anything related (such as MPB7001 Biodiversity and Conservation Biology / MPB5270 Introductory Tropical Biodiversity and Conservation). |
