CONSERVATION CONCERN
The Western Ghats forests, rivers, and grasslands contain an extraordinary diversity of species, including rare and threatened species and endemics found nowhere else in the world. These species survive in landscapes that are a mix of protected and human-use areas. Understanding plant and animal ecology, human impacts on wildlife species, and how people use and relate to natural resources is all critical for conservation.
This trip allows students to focus on human impacts on wild species and habitats, biological surveys, human-wildlife conflict research and mitigation, and ecological restoration.
