Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology - Univ. of Minnesota The students and faculty in the FWCB study the biology and ecology of some of the most interesting and diverse organisms and ecosystems in the world!

Our goals are to respond to societal needs for information and education pertaining to the conservation of our natural resources and to ensure excellent teaching, research, and outreach programs. FWCB is one of 14 departments in the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences. Our history and our future are built on a foundation which includes:

--- Strong commitment to a conservation ethic and conservation of biodiversity at scales ranging from genomes to landscapes,
--- An understanding of the interface between aquatic and terrestrial ecology,
--- Analysis of populations, communities, and ecosystems, particularly through computer modeling and Geographical Information Systems (GIS),
--- Application of physiological, genetic, and behavioral research to fish and wildlife management,
--- Strong emphasis on fish, avian, and large mammal conservation and ecology,
--- Global perspective enhanced by research and study abroad,
--- Active extension programs with a focus on citizen-science,
--- U.S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Cooperative Research Unit, fully integrated into the department,
