Biodiversity is globally threatened and if no conservation strategies are put in place at both local and global levels, several species will go extinct across the globe. This will result into loss of all the services associated with species diversity on the earth’s surface. The course is intended to equip students with knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for conservation of biodiversity. The course is cast in four major themes; biodiversity and its importance, threats to biodiversity, approaches to conservation of biodiversity, and human factors in biodiversity conservation.
