Wildlife Ecology and Conservation BSC (Hons)

Wildlife populations across the planet have declined by nearly 70% since 1970. There is growing recognition that conservation efforts need to be more effective and better targeted to help slow, and reverse, the loss of biodiversity. Conservation specialists with excellent knowledge of ecology and an appreciation of the socio-economic factors which underpin successful conservation are needed to meet these challenges. Our new Wildlife Ecology and Conservation draws on years of dedicated research and teaching expertise in terrestrial ecology and conservation and marine ecology and conservation . Here at Bangor University you will gain detailed understanding of wide ranging and interlinked aspects of ecology and conservation - with an emphasis on terrestrial and marine environments. Important themes include ecology and evolution, as well as behaviour change, evidence-based conservation, human-wildlife coexistence, and international conservation policy.
