BIOL416 Syllabus

Students are bused to a field site where they develop projects focused on conservation issues involving various habitats and organisms. Students learn methods and skills, how to map and inventory populations, and grapple with unresolved issues. Each project leads to conservation-oriented conclusions based on the available data, plans for further research, and recommendations for management strategies and educational outreach in a multiple-use nature reserve. Three longer trips are made to preserves and research sites for special instruction.
