FW 104 - Wildlife Ecology and Conservation

This course focuses on essentials of wildlife ecology as a foundation for understanding issues related to the origins, management and conservation of biodiversity.

The course is well-suited for anyone interested in learning about the issues facing wildlife at a global or local level. Students will learn basic ecological, behavioral and evolutionary principles as they apply to wildlife ecology and conservation.

There are no prerequisites, and this course is approved as a Colorado State University GTPathways science course. This course requires access to a computer with Firefox or Safari browser, Quicktime and a high speed connection due to streaming video lecture content.

This transfers as a course from Colorado State University to other Colorado institutions as a class that satisfies a GTPathways science requirement for institutions of Higher Education in Colorado. It is also a required course for students in the FWCB major at Colorado State University, so students considering a transfer to Colorado State University to complete their degree here are encouraged to take advantage of this class.
