	Bachelor of Science in Conservation and Ecology
		Ecology is the study of the interactions between living organisms and their relationships with the environment.
		It provides the scientific basis for the conservation and management of our native plants and animals, and increasingly ecologists are addressing problems such as the control of exotic pests and weeds, the sustainable management of natural resources, and the world-wide loss of biodiversity.
		A wide range of electives is possible with the Conservation and Ecology major, emphasising animal science, biochemistry and molecular biology, weed and pest control, plant science or mathematical modelling among others.

	Mulder, M. and Coppolillo, P.: Conservation: Linking Ecology, Economics, and Culture.
		It traces the historical roots of modern conservation thought and practice, and explores current perspectives from evolutionary and community ecology, conservation biology, anthropology, political ecology, economics, and policy.
		It is essential reading for anyone involved in the conservation process--from academic conservation biology to the management of protected areas, rural livelihood development to poverty alleviation, and from community-based natural resource management to national and global policymaking.
		Conservation: Linking Ecology, Economics, and Culture grew out of a pioneering course titled 'People and Conservation,' but this unique synthesis will be as helpful to policy makers and park managers as it will be to teachers and students interested in conservation biology and anthropology.

	Avian Conservation and Ecology - Écologie et conservation des oiseaux:
		Avian Conservation and Ecology (ACE) will be an open-access, fully electronic scientific journal, sponsored by the Society of Canadian Ornithologists and Bird Studies Canada.
		Distinctions between research with origins in "pure" ecology or in "applied" conservation and management are blurring, as ecologists better appreciate the need to address societal issues of practical concern, and managers require research to address ecological uncertainties that underpin conservation efforts.
		For example, papers will not require a special section on "management or conservation implications", as these will be evident from the nature of the research problem, whether the field be molecular, behavioural, population, community or landscape ecology.

	Conservation Ecology: Call for Papers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Conservation Ecology is a new journal, covering a new application of science, using a new medium.
		The journal seeks papers that are novel, integrative and written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience that includes an array of disciplines (biology, ecology, economics, and the social sciences) concerned with an array of issues (conservation, sustainability, development and ecological policy).
		Papers that address the design of ecological, economic, and social policy and the practice of management are as central to the mandate of Conservation Ecology as those that further the development of scientific and scholarly understanding.

		As a consequence, there is little consistency in perspective or synthesis of landscape ecology as a discipline to which the book as whole could contribute refined understanding and appropriate application.
		Depictions of the discipline indeed support their claim that landscape ecology represents “inadequate theory” that has been “borrowed and cobbled together,” but may also reflect poor synthesis and uneven treatment, rather than inherent inadequacies of the discipline.
