Description:

The management of lands for conservation integrates both scientific knowledge and the human interactions with the environment. This course uses an ecosystem management approach to address conservation of species, populations, and ecosystems. While concepts from ecology, conservation biology, and landscape ecology are emphasized as the scientific basis for management decisions, the human component is taken into consideration in the development of management plans. The course will include field work such as at Hiram College's Field Station, analysis of different study cases, and may include introductory-level Geographic Information System project work. Prerequisites: computer familiarity; some science background will be helpful, especially ecology. This course can be used to fulfill an Area of Concentration Course for the EVST Major; it fulfils a nonlab science requirement.
