Overview

At the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry we offer a bachelor degree in Conservation Biology.

The field is a relatively young one that is growing rapidly in response to the biodiversity crisis, perhaps the most critical environmental issue of our time. Conservation biologists view all of nature's diversity as important and having inherent value.

This diversity spans the biological hierarchy and includes variation at the level of genes, populations, communities, ecosystems, and biomes.

Key Features

A focus on biological diversity and an intrinsic valuation of nature is what distinguishes conservation biology from wildlife management (with its somewhat more utilitarian perspective and a focus on populations of birds and large mammals) and from general environmental biology (with a broad focus on environmental issues).

Conservation biologists seek ways to integrate biological perspectives with social, economic, legislative and political ones to achieve conservation goals.
