Natural history is the study of living organisms (plants, animals, fungi, and microbes), focusing on how they live, interact, and change over time in their natural environments. The Specialization in Natural History is designed for students who wish to gain a comprehensive understanding of biodiversity and the many ways in which organisms interact with their environment. This knowledge underpins many aspects of ecology and conservation biology and is relevant to a wide range of careers in parks, government ministries, environmental consultancies, conservation authorities, museums, herbaria, zoos, outdoor education centres, ecotourism, and other arenas.
