Course Objective The concept of biodiversity, which entered the conservation strategies as a target with the conference in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, has become one of the most important and comprehensive topics of conservation / sustainability discourses today. The diversity of genes, species and ecosystems has begun to be regarded as a huge global wealth of potential in terms of sustainability. The loss of biodiversity is perceived as a global problem and it is tried to be regulated by international rules. Genetic sources of vegetable origin are of great importance for food and agriculture, especially considering the nutritional needs of the world population. Understanding these features and interpreting them from a geographical perspective are among the main objectives of the course.
