Possibly, biodiversity literacy could be promoted as part of the core criteria for a UC undergraduate degree. The instruction would not necessarily be an intercampus activity, but the market and need probably exist on every campus, and the development of a model course could provide support for development of other such courses on further campuses. GRCP will survey the need and interest for such instruction on each UC campus. Graduate student scholarships for research in conservation biology. An intercampus approach to securing funding for such a program would be more effective, especially with potential NGO and nonprofit organization sponsors, than individual campus efforts.
Topic needs further development.
One main center with satellites on several campuses is envisioned. UC Davis will develop a brief concept paper for this center. All rights reserved.
