The study of ecology can lead you to assist in: protecting endangered species,
preventing the over-exploitation of natural resources, restoring degraded habitats, or predicting the effects of climate change or genetically modified crops. As well as being a fascinating science, ecological insights are essential for solving many current environmental problems and to provide sound advice
for management and conservation.
Portobello Institute’s course in Applied Ecology draws from many different disciplines to equip learners with all the necessary knowledge to form an understanding of ecological issues as well
as the practical skills to assist them.
