Module description

Humankind has exploited wildlife for millennia for food, travel, defence and trade, and developed a variety of ways in which to extract resources to meet the growing needs of the global population. Exploitation has had negative consequences upon almost every environment on the planet, affecting the delivery of the goods and services we have become accustomed to and in turn altering the populations of the wildlife they depend on. This module takes a detailed look at the exploitation of resources and iconic wildlife, and their associated impacts through a series of current, impactful and modern day case studies.
