Wetlands are a critical component of the natural world. They provide vital habitat to numerous plants and animal species and are a vital factor in our efforts to provide clean water for an ever-growing human population. Unfortunately, a majority of these ecosystems have been lost due to draining and filling efforts. This course will focus on conserving, restoring
and creating wetland habitats. These rotating courses address timely and current issues in conservation biology. Different subjects are taught in different terms. Students explore the topic within the field of conservation biology and learn how the principles of conservation biology are applied to the topic and used in conservation on the ground. These courses combine the theoretical knowledge students gain in conservation and wildlife biology and applied work in conservation. May be repeated up to two times for a maximum of 12 credits. Prerequisite: BIO 2020 Ecology
