This course will be the second of two core courses for the four
new majors – Integrative Conservation and Anthropology,
Integrative Conservation and Ecology, Integrative Conservation
and Forestry and Natural Resources, and Integrative Conservation
and Geography. 

After completing this course, students will be able to apply the
theories and tools of integrative conservation to real-world
situations.  They will be comfortable working with academics and
practitioners from a range of backgrounds and will be 
experienced with decision-making in situations of limited or 
imperfect information.  Students will also have exposure to a 
wide range of conservation issues in a variety of settings.
