International biodiversity resource management

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: BIO468

In this course you will gain insight into a number of international conventions relating to the conservation of biodiversity. We also discuss the EU directives dealing with sustainable development and how they are implemented in the Nordic countries. You will learn about Red-listing as classification system and its scientific background. We also discuss how biodiversity can be preserved in situ and ex situ, and the role gene banks and museum collections play. In an individual project we focus on species that are highlighted by an international convention or national law. For a species of your choice you describe the biological background, the specific conditions that led to its status as endangered, and the protection that the species is given by international laws and agreements.
