Nature conservation is shaped by the interplay of diverse political, cultural, economic, scientific and technological forces across Australia and internationally. With the increasing exploitation of the world’s non-renewable resources and the rapidly unfolding degradation of the planet’s natural systems there is an urgent need to conserve those wild places we have left and begin to restore the damage man has done. The Western Sydney University program in Nature Conservation provides a deep understanding of sustainable ecosystems management from both the Indigenous cultural perspective and the Western scientific perspective. Studies of policy formulation and environmental advocacy are underpinned by a solid scientific foundation.
