 Madagascar: Island of Megadiversity
In this module, students will use the tools of conservation genetics to discover how Madagascar came to be home to a diverse array of organisms found nowhere else on Earth. They’ll use a molecular clock to look back in time, and sequence genes that show how current species are changing into the future. They’ll translate the history told by DNA - from the separation of continents 100 million years ago to a raft trip a mere two centuries in the past. After conducting this research, students will draft a communications strategy focusing on the conservation of a Malagasy species, including a plan to ensure that the amazing biological diversity of this unique land continues to thrive for generations to come.
