Meet Dr. Rachel Hackett, a conservation plant biologist at the Michigan Natural Features Inventory.  We learn about Rachel's job and the restoration of threatened and endangered species. Rachel provides some examples of "new" populations and students discuss ways to determine if the population is a remnant or introduced population.

Description

Meet Dr. Rachel Hackett and learn about her job as a botanist and conservation biologist.  Rachel introduces the concepts of Representation, Resiliency, and Redundancy in native plant populations. 

Students completing this module will be able to:

  1. Explain the role of data in conservation of endangered species and their habitat

  2. Understand the basics of Redundancy, Resiliency, and Representation in conservation

  3. List at least three different sources that can be used to research the history of a plant population

  4. Identify 3 ways humans interact with rare plant and animal species and the data we have collected about them
