Conservation is the prevention of wasteful use of a resource. These resources include ecosystem services, habitats, and biodiversity. Each organism in an ecosystem or habitat plays an important role, thus ecosystems are most productive and healthy when species diversity is high. Unfortunately, species numbers are declining faster than ever before due to many human driven stressors. The role of a conservationist is to preserve and protect these dwindling resources, which is accomplished with three tasks: 1) to observe and examine a threat(s) to the resource, 2) to find a way to mitigate the threat, and 3) to communicate what was learned with others. During the Conservation + Comics Program students will accomplish all three tasks: they will explore a threat such as the loss of biodiversity or climate change and are then encouraged to critically think in an inquiry-based format as they brainstorm solutions, finishing the workshop by communicating the science they just learned through the innovative platform of nature comics.
