Fiji2UF in Fiji

The Fiji study abroad program will examine human and cultural aspects of Fijian ecology and the conservation, preservation, and management of Fiji?s unique system of marine, coastal, and mountain/rainforest natural resources. Students will use applications in cross-cultural analysis and techniques to explore the management and conservation of natural resources with a focus on issues related to human use of plant, forestry, wildlife, ecology, recreation and tourism, and/or coastal/water resources. The impact of humans on these resources will also be emphasized, including a long term historical perspective. Our program will focus on topics related to sustainable development (sustaining human societies and the natural environment) with a particular focus on ecotourism.
