Zoo Conservation Biology

Conservation Biology is a relatively new multidisciplinary field in biology which focuses on biological principles and their applications for the preservation of species and habitats, biodiversity conservation in general and the maintenance of equilibrium within ecosystems. It represents a fusion of relevant ideas from ecology, population biology, genetics, biogeography, behaviour and a number of applied disciplines such as wildlife management and forestry. Zoo Conservation Biology specifically approaches this broad field of research from a zoo perspective, and this course will mainly focus on areas of interest that are related to small population management in captive settings and in field conservation programs.
 

This course is part of the Master in Environmental Biology at Utrecht University specialization programme Behavioural Ecology.
