An overview of the major issues facing biodiversity globally today including habitat destruction, pollution, invasive species and disease, and examine how these issues are affecting island nations with a focus on French Polynesia. This course will make extensive use of the Biocode Project database to examine biodiversity on Moorea, and discuss genetic resilience and conservation technologies. We will then explore local attitudes and perspectives about these issues and examine local biodiversity initiatives. This course is one of five co-requisite courses (ESPM 109A-E) that make up the study abroad program in Island Sustainability taught off campus on Moorea, French Polynesia, during the Spring semester.
