SCENV3802 Wildlife and ecosystem conservation
The rapid and ongoing modification and degradation of natural ecosystems and species¿ habitats is a global issue. In order to appropriately conserve and manage ecosystems and the habitat of threatened species to ensure their persistence we must understand the underlying processes that drive modification and degradation. We must also understand how and where to allocate conservation and management resources to better protect Earth¿s ecosystems and threatened species. This unit explores in detail some of the current thinking and theoretical frameworks that underpin the conservation and management of natural ecosystems and threatened species both within Australia and Internationally. Topics investigated may include island biogeography, the SLOSS concept, landscape ecology, ecosystem resilience, policy and regulatory frameworks, threatened species management, human-wildlife conflict and indigenous land management.
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.
