Conservation biology

The course combines theoretical and practical components and includes lectures, practical exercises, seminars and project work. In computer exercises the students will be able to apply and deepen their knowledge. In seminars scientific understanding, critical reviewing and critical thinking is trained. Mandatory components are seminars and project work.


The course gives the student knowledge that is needed for future work in the conservation biology sector as well as for future academic studies. The course focuses on 1) the scientific basis for conservation biology, 2) the ecological theories that are used in conservation biology, 3) global biodiversity and global threats, 4) different perspectives held by different parties in conservation biology work.


Information from the course leader

Välkommen till kursen i Naturvårdsbiologi! (Uppdaterad 30/12 -21)

Vi satsar fortsatt på att ha all undervisning på plats. Om ni tittar på schemat så ser ni att vi har den mesta undervisningen på Ekologcentrum. Vi kommer använda rum där vi kan sitta med distans till varandra. Kom ihåg att inte komma om ni är sjuka. Enligt SLU:s regler så kan undervsiningen komma att flyttas över till distans temporärt om fler än en person blir konstaterat sjuk i covid. Om SLU beslutar om hårdare resitriktioner kan det också resultera att vi går över till distansundervisning.

Som vanligt kommer litteratur att som vi arbetar med, extra litteraur- & media tips samt andra användbara resurser läggas upp i Canvas.

Har ni några frågor hör av er annars ses vi 17/1 kl 10.00 i F-salen på Ekolocentrum.
