專業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么？
Conservation biology is a science-based major designed to provide students broad training in biological, ecological, and related disciplines most relevant to conservation. The program emphasizes basic knowledge of natural history, whole organism biology, ecological interactions, and field biology. The major is characterized by flexibility with a broad range of opportunities allowing students to tailor the program to their interests. These major appeals to independent students capable of assembling a curriculum that takes maximum advantage of strong background, diversity, and specialization, as well as the breadth available through an L&S major. The program has a unique appeal to students passionate about conservation biology, from the social scientist to the theoretical ecologist, and empowers students to act as informed citizens of the natural world.
Aldo Leopold, former UW professor considered the father of wildlife management, and Norman Fassett, former UW professor of Botany, first initiated this major in the 1940s to prepare individuals for careers as game wardens, ranger naturalists, and museum workers. These opportunities continue and have expanded to include work in environmental education; forest, game and park management; endangered species research and recovery efforts; work with private conservation organizations and government agencies; and many more. The major is recommended for those seeking a liberal education in the intrinsic values of natural resources and those preparing for graduate study in the rapidly developing field of conservation biology.
Learning Outcomes
- Students will explain the basic concepts of ecology and evolution and how they underpin and apply to the science of conservation biology.
- Students will understand and explain the scientific process as related to conservation biology, including the relevance of theories and how hypotheses are tested.
- Students will recognize species within some particular group of organisms and explain key aspects of their ecology, phylogeny, and conservation needs.
- Students will apply general ecological principles to assess and address conservation threats to particular species, communities, and ecosystems.
- Students will investigate and communicate the connections between the biological and social sciences and humanities as they affect conservation programs and activities.
- Students will identify, interpret, and communicate conservation ideas, needs and programs to others.
