Master in Applied Ecology
Applied ecology is a crucial aspect of knowledge in today's world, taking into account one of the main challenges facing Man today: global changes and the consequent loss of biodiversity in ecosystems. In this way, it is intended with this Master in Applied Ecology that the student acquires an in-depth and specialized understanding of the main ecological processes, the issues related to the loss and management of Biodiversity, as well as its importance, including the interactions between the different components, biotic and abiotic, of the Ecosystems themselves.
