Overview

The Bachelor of Science majoring in Marine and Wildlife Conservation provides a strong foundation in ecological principles, biodiversity protection, and habitat management across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Offered at Adelaide University, this degree examines how human activity, environmental change, and natural processes affect wildlife populations and marine environments. Developing expertise in this field is vital for mitigating biodiversity loss, restoring degraded habitats, and implementing sustainable conservation policies.

What You'll Learn

• Core ecological concepts, marine biology, terrestrial wildlife dynamics, and ecosystem functions

• Biodiversity assessment techniques, field sampling protocols, and spatial mapping methodologies

• Conservation genetics, population viability modeling, and wildlife management strategies

• Environmental policy, climate change impacts, and marine protected area design principles

Learning Outcomes

Upon completing this program, graduates will analyze complex ecological datasets to assess habitat health, formulate science-based conservation management strategies for marine and terrestrial species, and evaluate environmental management policies to promote sustainable ecosystem preservation.
