Focus Areas
Environmental Studies and Environmental Science
The Environmental Studies and Environmental Science programs are designed to ll a need
for quality, interdisciplinary undergraduate education. Several government and industrystudies have identied the need for qualied experts with training that is holistic, multi-dis-
ciplinary with a big picture approach of how their expertise can be used in conjunction withother specialists to solve practical environmental problems.
Undergraduate students in either program receive both a solid scientic background com-
plimented by a core of environmental information, and also have the opportunity to spe-cialize in one of a diverse range of focus areas. You will gain access to some excellent and
unique resources. Among these are eld courses on ecological and environmental topics,linkage with the Centre for Earth Observation Science, exposure to the work of the federal
governments Freshwater Institute researchers, including nearby ecosystem research at theExperimental Lake Area.
What is a Focus Area?
A focus area is an individualized approach to undergraduate education. The student, in col-
laboration with a student advisor, will organize a body of courses from several subject eldsaround a central theme, topic, or set of related issues. The approach and coursework draw
on dierent subjects, enabling a truly multi-disciplinary education to be obtained. The focusarea must articulate a coherent eld of study and provide a theoretical context for the focal
issues.
How do I decide on a Focus Area?
Through student driven research and by identifying areas and careers that you are interestedin, you will be able to develop a focus area to acquire the knowledge and skills required to
enter further research programs and the workforce.
You should begin thinking about your focus area during your second year. Use some of theactivities and information outlined in this brochure to narrow down your interests. From
here, you can begin to characterize and develop the content that will make up your focusarea.
Key activities

Stewardship
Stewardship is maintaining natural resources for future generations. Stewardship means,
as humans we are responsible for our actions on earth. Future generations are dependantupon the continuity of the natural environment. We must respect life and integrate our uses
of the natural environment. We must respect life and integrate our uses of the natural re-sources in a manner compatible with the continuity on earth. It requires a lot of education,
research, work and dedication to successfully change the current systems to create and/orenhance sustainability of our actions.

Sustainable Development
Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs
while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present,but also for future generations. The achievement of sustainable development requires the
integration of its economic, environmental and social components at all levels. People,land, culture and resources all interact to sustain our everyday lives and the outcomes of
such interactions vary across the globe; they also vary in time as we witness changes in oureconomy and our environment.

Water Resources
The study of water resources is gaining increasing attention as society recognizes the limi-
tations that exist with this important renewable resource. Water resources are importantto the environment generally in terms of being a critical factor in most biotic and abiotic
processes. Ensuring a safe and healthy supply of water globally for human uses includinghousehold, agricultural, industrial, and recreational is the focus of this eld of study.
Careers in this area can be further explored through the EcoCanada website (www.eco.ca).

Wildlie Management
Wildlife and ecosystem management continue to be
dynamic and emerging elds in environmental sci-ence and studies. Wildlife management is the science
and art of changing characteristics and interactionsbetween animal populations, habitats, and humans
to achieve specic societal goals. Ecosystem manage-ment addresses societal objectives for the broader con-
sideration of all biological and abiotic components andtheir interacting processes in a dened geographical
area. Both areas of study focus on reducing the loss ofbiological diversity. The Wildlife Society website (www.
