Animal Biology and Conservation Science is devoted to the scientific study and management of indigenous plants and animals. It is a multidisciplinary science with a primary goal of reducing the impact of environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity and climate change. In this regard, experts in Animal Biology & Conservation Science conduct experimental studies with animals in controlled/natural environment; collect biological data and specimens for analysis and study the characteristics of animals Health, Fishery Biology, Conservation Biology, Wildlife Management, Applied Entomology and Advanced Genetics. The latter focuses largely on modern concepts of molecular biology and genetic engineering. Also, students admitted into the Department of Animal Biology and Conservation Science may combine with other courses for a degree in Animal Biology with such other courses. Notably, BSc Animal Biology with Biochemistry, BSc Animal and Plant Biology (combined major), BSc Animal Biology with Chemistry, and BSc Animal Biology with Psychology.
