Conservation + Restoration

Sustainability Themes, such as Conservation + Restoration, cut across all specializations—and give students and partners a chance to dig deeper in a particular area of impact and interest. Explore how our teaching, research and engagement is making an impact to tackle these global challenges.

Changing the game in ecological research and management

Nearly everything humans eat, drink, and breathe is the product of a living organism that inhabits a natural or human-dominated ecosystem. Protecting biological diversity and ecosystem function through conservation and restoration is necessary to produce the goods and services that allow people to prosper.

Our community responds to this challenge by working to protect the Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystem services. That’s the SEAS approach.

She found the work rewarding, but when she went on a trip to Yosemite National Park, she knew she needed to make a change in her path and pursue her purpose of caring for the natural environment.
