Biology, Field Biology: Ecology and Conservation Biology (BS)

Ecology studies the distribution and abundance of organisms, the interactions between organisms, and the interactions between organisms and the physical environment. Conservation biology is an applied science based on ecological principles focusing on conserving biological diversity and the restoration of degraded ecosystems. The University of Maine at Fort Kent is committed to a more sustainable world, and knowledge of conservation biology and ecology learned through our BS program in biological sciences with a concentration in conservation biology and ecology is one step of many required to help meet this global challenge.
