Ecology and Conservation

About this course

Ecology and conservation address one of the defining challenges of the twenty-first century: the rapid decline of biodiversity and the need to understand and protect the living systems that sustain life on Earth. Ecology is the science of how organisms interact with each other and with their physical environments, examining the patterns and processes that structure communities, populations, and ecosystems. Conservation applies ecological knowledge to the protection and restoration of species and habitats, and it operates at the interface of biology, policy, economics, and ethics. At Plymouth this three-year full-time programme explores the principles guiding ecological systems and the diversity of life on Earth, investigating ecological patterns, evolutionary relationships, and the processes that sustain natural communities. You will gain a clear understanding of ecology's central role
