Fundamentals of Biology

Learning biology for the first time can be difficult and confusing.  It can also seem unnecessary, if what you really want to learn about is conservation, or animal husbandry.  The beauty of studying biology, however, is that it provides you with the tools and vocabulary to really understand nature, which can take you from being a casual observer, to an active participant in important conversations.  Having a solid grasp of the basics will help you to be a better scientist, animal carer, communicator, and conservator of nature.  It can also shape the way you approach your own life, particularly when it comes to lifestyle, diet, fitness, and health. 

The lectures on this channel cover the fundamentals of biology, and are designed to work alongside supplementary reading, and I highly recommend the textbook Biology: A Global Approach. Other YouTube channels such as Bozeman Science, Crash Course Biology, and Khan Academy are also highly recommended.
