The University of Melbourne
Bachelor of Science (Ecosystem Science)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationWe all like to think we’re green but, for the first time ever, more than 50 per cent of people around the world live in cities.
Some think this removes us from nature, but we’re now recognising the value of urban ecosystems, green spaces and urban forests in making our cities more liveable for us, and for our plant and animal neighbours.
Meanwhile, outside the cities, we see dwindling forests worldwide and an ever-expanding appetite for forest products and ask, what can we do?
This major will show you how to care for, use and protect urban and forest ecosystems.
