The discipline

Environmental and conservation biology focuses on how humans impact on species and ecosystems, and the ecological management methods we can use to maintain or restore properly functioning ecosystems and minimise species extinctions.

Sequence requirements

Minor sequence in environmental and conservation biology (24 points):

• BIO1011 and either BIO1022 or BIO1042, and
• any two of BIO2031, BIO2042, BIO3111 and GEN3062.

Major sequence in environmental and conservation biology (48 points):

• BIO1011 and either BIO1022 or BIO1042, and
• BIO2031, BIO2042 and one of BIO2011, BIO2051, BIO2181 and BIO2231, and
• BIO3111 and any two of BIO3011, BIO3091*, BIO3021, BIO3122*, BIO3041, BIO3082, BIO3132, BIO3103 and GEN3062.

Details of these units and a full list of related units are provided in the `Biological sciences' entry in this section of the handbook.

*These units have compulsory level-two prerequisites beyond those listed at level two.
