Meet 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 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 monitoring endangered species and their habitat
  2. Understand the basics of Redundancy, Resiliency, and Representation in conservation
  3. Understand the value of natural history collections and herbariums in scientific research
  4. Explain the value of online data repositories
  5. Identify 3 ways humans impact data about plant and animal species
  6. Consider how to connect with organizations and other scientists to better understand anomalies in data
  7. Explain the different values in remnant vs reintroduced populations of endangered species
