Lessons in Conservation: Volume 3

The September 2010 cover of the magazine “Lessons in Conservation” has a photo of four men kneeling in a lush green forest.

This volume of Lessons in Conservation presents a selection of more advanced topics in biodiversity conservation, including ecological consequences of extinction, species distribution modeling, and biodiversity conservation and human health.

Lessons in Conservation is the official journal of the Network of Conservation Educators and Practitioners (NCEP), and is currently available in electronic format. All materials in Lessons in Conservation are peer-reviewed, and are reproduced from NCEP teaching modules. If you plan to use these materials in your teaching, you may wish to download easily modifiable versions of the materials found in Lessons in Conservation, along with additional teaching and learning modules, from the NCEP module collection.
