INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
SIS 433/ENVIR 433 Special Topics: Environmental Degradation 5 cr
SMA 433 in the Tropics
TTh 2:30-4:20 MGH 234 CHRISTIE
It is widely known that many complex, valuable tropical ecosystems are under enormous pressure, but
the social and ecological conditions driving this degradation are poorly understood and widely debated. Is
it primarily poverty or over consumption that is driving the process? The consequences for both the
developing and developed world are becoming increasingly apparent. This course will be a
multidisciplinary (social and natural science) exploration into the root causes and consequences of
environmental degradation in the tropical world, including: 1) an introduction to the debate, 2) an
exploration of rain forest and coral reef case studies, 3) an examination of controversial issues, and 4) a
look at some environmental management techniques.
