Impact of global environmental change on organisms is getting more and
more significant. One of the worst situations is that the change has caused
an unexpectedly high extinction rate of species in Earth history, i.e., one
thousand times higher than fossil record. Biodiversity conservation now
becomes one of the important and noticeable public agenda. Why is
biodiversity so important? What is biodiversity? This is the main aim of this
course to lead students to know “biodiversity” and the relevant researches,
particularly the recent studies. Moreover, the course will also extend
beyond biodiversity and introduce the policies for biodiversity
conservation and management in different countries as well as existing or
potential conflicts. Student questioning and discussing will be one of the
two important parts in this course that will facilitate students to have
better understanding of biodiversity. In the end, we hope this course not
only providing the knowledge of biodiversity but also giving students a
great chance to have critical thinking and discussing of the complex issues
beyond biodiversity.Impact of global environmental change on organisms is getting more and
