Why do we study environmental biology? The answer lies in understanding the environmental issues from a biological, and therefore, a scientific perspective. This course begins with a scientific approach to learning the fundamentals of biology, all within the context of understanding our environment. It teaches you about matter, energy, and life, before guiding you through the basics of understanding ecosystems and biodiversity.
Next, you will progress to community ecology and the implications of unchecked population growth on our habitat. The impacts of environmental conditions, checking its health, and toxicology will help you gain an understanding of the stress on Earth and its environment. The origin and importance of biodiversity will help you develop a nuanced understanding of the threats, reasons for, and ways to preserve it.
Finally, the sections on water, food, and hunger will address the insecurity faced by the majority of the world's population. You will have a clear idea of the realities of air pollution and sustainability. Whether you are pursuing a career in ecology, conservation, or biology, or you could be a risk assessor in climate change, this course will be beneficial to you. Enroll now for a scientific skill.
