Students should develop a sound understanding of the biological and ecological principles of nature protection; threats to species and ecosystems; populations as the main unit in conservation; theoretical and practical instruments for biodiversity protection. They should develop a good understanding of all important terms of nature protection in English, and should be able to read and understand respective literature in English. They should be able to understand practical problems of nature and to develop proposals to solve them.
Basic knowledge of ecology, as taught in an introductory course.
Biodiversity (species, genes, ecosystems, species richness, spatial gradients, hotspots); justifications for nature/biodiversity protection (use values and ethical values); threats (habitat loss and degradation, habitat fragmentation, pollution, overexploitation, global climate change); categories of conservation status (IUCN system, red lists, criteria); extinction of species (definition, levels, extinction rates, rarity and extinction risk); populations (description, dynamics, metapopulations); problems of small populations (extinction risk, loss of genetic diversity, inbreeding, demographic and environmental stochasticity); population viability analysis (logics, computer simulations, deterministic and stochastic simulations, reliability, tool for management decisions); ex situ conservation (studbooks, zoos and botanical gardens, genetic management of captive populations, interaction between ex and in situ conservation); reintroduction (IUCN guidelines, necessary considerations, chances of success, follow-up monitoring); protection of areas (criteria for selection, shape and size, zoning, connecting protected areas, management plans and strategies, system of protected areas in Poland).
Lecture, multimedia presentations, computer simulations.

Written test (multiple choice questions) at the end of the course, about the lecture’s subjects. Grades depend on the percent of correctly answered questions: 50-59% = 3.0, 60-69% = 3.5, 70-79% = 4.0, 80-89% = 4.5, 90% or more = 5.0.
Selected articles from scientific journals.
