HONR 100/300 Native wildlife and habitats, an international comparison

In this course the core content of the MT Wildlife & Habitats class will be expanded to include comparisons with other states/provinces/countries of the world with ecosystems comparable to those found in Montana.

Geographies I would like to compare to Montana likely will include parts of Russia, Mongolia, Norway, Iceland, Sweden, New Zealand, Morocco, Turkey, Spain, Chile, Argentina, Peru, and Canada.
