ENV 340 - Human Dimensions of Wildlife Conservation

Three Credits
Every Spring

Wildlife conservation is one of humanity’s most complex challenges. Making well-informed management decisions that consider both ecological and human dimensions is imperative. In this course we’ll explore the human dimensions of wildlife management - how human values, attitudes, and actions affect biodiversity conservation. We’ll investigate how governments protect wildlife given increasing anthropogenic pressures while considering numerous stakeholder perspectives. We’ll use case studies to investigate domestic and international ecosystems and have opportunities to explore survey data.
