This course introduces essential concepts in conservation biology, focusing on a system that has created a global crisis for people, wildlife, and ecosystems. We will study the principles underlying older and newer approaches to conservation biology, as well as explore evidence that may illuminate when, and under what conditions, approaches to each may be successful. The paradigm is shifting towards the integration of human communities in the management and conservation of protected areas, and the valuation of ecosystem services. Innovative ways are needed to integrate human communities with conservation efforts, while adding value to ecosystem services. Through this lens we will assess the relationship of people and protected areas, investigate the role economics and politics plays in decision making, and debate the costs and benefits of a new paradigm shift away from traditional conservation.
