CONSERVATION BIOLOGY AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

 

 

Charter members:  Erin Bryant and Nicki Jackson

 

We work for a conservation agency and are faced with a crisis decision: a piece of land with 6 different wetlands hosting the only known populations of 2 rare orchids is about to be developed.  The crisis is that we only have enough funds to purchase and protect four of these wetlands.

Which one will we pick, how do we make this decision? 

Read along, follow the links and see what we picked and how we came to our decision.

Read some background information on orchids and wetlands, discover allozymes and electrophoresis and follow our links page to some more information out there on the web.
