SCENV3800 Ecosystems Conservation and Management
The rapid and ongoing modification and degradation of habitat and natural ecosystems is a global issue. In order to appropriately conserve and manage ecosystems to ensure their resilience to withstand further change we must understand their underlying patterns, processes and dynamics. The question of how and where to allocate conservation resources is complex and challenging. This unit explores in detail some of the current thinking and theoretical frameworks that underpin ecosystem conservation and management, including island biogeography, the SLOSS concept, landscape ecology, indigenous land management and ecosystem resilience.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
