| ETP 2030 | Politics, Science, & Values: Intro to Environmental Thought and Practice (3) |
| What is our relationship to the environment? Physical, chemical, or biological phenomena can be described by environmental scientists but "problems" are defined by our response to them, contingent on culture, history and values more than measurements. Solving environmental problems lies in the political sphere, but our debates draw on discourses from philosophy, economics and ethics. Explore the basis for environmental thought and practice. | |

| ETP 4693 | The Business of Saving Nature (3) |
| Human activities are currently resulting in an unprecedented decline in the biological diversity of our planet. The conversion of natural lands for agriculture and urbanization, together with the alteration of wetlands and aquatic ecosystems, is resulting in the extinction of species that depend on these ecosystems as essential habitat. Recognition of the impacts of human activity on biological diversity has led to a growing international environmental movement to promote the preservation of natural ecosystems. The preservation of biological diversity is dependent on the integration of conservation objectives into the framework of regional economic development, which will require a blending of our scientific and economic understanding about these issues. This course focuses on the scientific and economic issues related to the conservation and preservation of natural ecosystems via an insitutional learning experience. | |
