It is envisioned that the course will embody an overview of natural resource policy from a world perspective. Topics of concentration would include endangered species, international trade, large-scale conservation planning, environmental education, eco-tourism, sustainability, private vs. public lands, and forest and land management. You should gain new perspective on natural resources and the meanings attached to those who live next to them. General format will be many guest lectures and discussions. This is meant to be a fun and informative course that will hopefully allow you to become better world citizens.
