Master of Science in Biology with a Concentration in Sub-Antarctic Biocultural Conservation

Program Overview

Research, strong professor-student mentoring, high-quality instruction, and professional community service are the foundation of our Biology master's degree with a concentration in Sub-Antarctic Biocultural Conservation.

Begun as a local effort at the Omora Ethnobotanical Park in 2000, the program today is an international and interdisciplinary venture, whose partner institutions in the United States and Chile work to integrate the ecological sciences and environmental ethics.

This long-term socio-ecological research, education and conservation program in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, the Omora Alliance is developing innovative ways to address intertwined environmental and social problems such as global ecological change, invasive exotic species, cultural homogenization and sustainable development. The term biocultural conservation attempts to express the intrinsic link between human cultures and the environment. It also is an effort to place emphasis on the fact that often cultural diversity is as endangered, or more so, than species diversity in many places.
