Class Description Fall 2006 - Section R59

Title: Endangered Species: Law, Science, and Ethics

This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of endangered species by looking at the issue through the lenses of law, policy, science and environmental ethics in domestic and international contexts. Some of the questions we will address include: Should we attempt to prevent the extinction of various forms of life and if so how? Which do we choose to save? How do we balance the goal of protecting species with other goals? Students will also become familiar with endangered species laws such as the Endangered Species Act and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
