Conservation Science
We study ecosystems and the plants and animals who thrive or flounder there. We focus on the biology, ecology, human interaction, and use of natural resources, with an eye toward informing how natural resource managers make decisions that preserve habitat, protect endangered species, and manage whole ecosystems.
