SummaryIt is essential that we give our students the opportunity to develop their thinking on the many ethical aspects of conservation activities. This course will provide a platform for discussion and reflection on a variety of case examples. Students will be encouraged to analyse in depth the many conflicts that can exist in the development and implementation of new technologies or strategies and to come to their own conclusions as to what is acceptable. This course is less focused on what we can' do to consider rather what we 'should' or 'should not' do.
