Biodiversity And Conservation

Jo Said:

“One person can make a difference in biodiversity conservation.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

We Answered:

Yes, one man can make a lot of difference in biodiversity conservation. If you alone start conservation of biodiversity, I am sure others will be affected by your good cause and in turn they will start doing something for conserving biodiversity.
Say no to plastic bags and stop cutting down trees and plant as many as possible.Also save acquatic creatures.and stop polluting water bodies

Harold Said:

I want to help in the conservation of the biodiversity. Which major do I want?

We Answered:

Having a minor, as long as you can afford the extra coursework, never hurts you. It gives you a more well-rounded understanding far beyond that of just the subject matter. (basically - it looks good...and it's always good to have more knowledge over less!)

Both conservation biology and zoology have many cross-over themes in their studies. I majored in wildlife ecology and conservation, but zoology courses were part of my curriculum. Honestly, your major is not the be-all-end-all many people make it out to be. If you truly plan on pursuing conservation/biodiversity, you will need to proceed towards graduate school - and that is where you will need to narrow your choice down.

For now, any choice that gives you a decent background in genetics, population dynamics, evolutionary history, etc is a great starting point for conservation.
Good luck! I am always excited to see more people enter conservation.

Also, it depends on your school's programs. Some schools may have a better zoology department, some better conservation.
