| Course description |
|
Goal: In this course, students will acquire the knowledge necessary to understand the latest research in the field of forest environment conservation, which is part of the discipline of natural environment conservation. Students will also study the knowledge involved in problem-solving in conducting natural environment conservation research. Overview: We will discuss the study of the knowledge and technique involved in the planning required for timber production and forest management; and the technique regarding a balance between environmental burden and productivity in forest resource production. We will also discuss the latest knowledge regarding methods of using forest resources, research regarding their impact on the surrounding environment, and its application. |
| Expected Learning |
