BIO 1009A - Biodiversity & Conservation Biology

Institution:

Dowling College (Closed)

Subject:

Description:

3 credits More kinds of organisms are alive today than at any other single time in the entire history of the Earth. Yet, there is a pressing problem of how to conserve this remarkable biodiversity in the face of the seemingly inex orable growth of human population. We will explore the five kingdoms of living organisms, the major earth biomes (such as the tropical rain forest), and some basic ecology to aid in understanding the relationship of living organisms in their environment. We will then cover the concept of biodi versity conservation; including its origins, philosophy and real-world application. Offered: Winter.
