About the Program

The Master of Conservation Leadership at Colorado State University is built around principles of experiential learning, inter-disciplinary instruction, and applied approaches. Our students work closely with a network of practitioners and organizations throughout the program. Conservation Leadership is the option for individuals seeking to make a difference in the lives and ecosystems of our planet.

Research

Natural resource problems such as climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, food security, and water availability are increasingly complex and threaten human livelihoods and sustainability. These complex problems are best explored across disciplines that examine social-ecological phenomena at different scales and at multiple levels.

The multiple disciplinary approach to human dimensions of conservation requires perspectives on individuals, social groups, organizations, societies and cultures. It is the goal of the Department of Human Dimensions of Natural Resources to represent these multiple social science perspectives and to address critical issues in conservation in innovative, integrative ways.

Our research is directed toward informing decisions that sustain natural resources and the services that are derived from those resources.
