This advanced Kabini programme challenges students to critically examine conservation as a complex system involving environmental protection, human rights, economic interests, and governance. Learners analyse how conservation policies are designed, implemented, and contested, and evaluate whether these systems distribute benefits and burdens fairly.
Through field-based evidence collection, stakeholder analysis, ethical debates, and evaluative reflection, students develop higher-order systems thinking and ethical reasoning aligned with MYP Sciences and Individuals & Societies objectives.
