Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) - Wildlife Conservation (Extended Major)
The Wildlife Conservation extended major allows you to study animals with a special emphasis on understanding their relative conservation status and options for recovering viable populations of threatened species. Focusing on unique Australian fauna, you’ll learn about the processes leading to the exceptional biodiversity that exists today, the threats facing this biodiversity and the management strategies and policies that can be used to limit, and in some cases reverse, the impact of these threats. There will be opportunities to study animals living in diverse range of habitats in Western Australia, from the desert to forests and tropical reefs, and to carry out your studies in both the class room and in the field.
