This program is for anyone who might be interested in learning about wildlife conservation topics such as strategies to conserve endangered species and protect key habitats. It’s designed specifically for those who may want to develop their career in the wildlife conservation sector. Anyone from high school students and college graduates to established working professionals will be able to benefit from this program.
In the same way as all our programs, our online courses are absolutely ideal for those seriously considering pursuing a career in sustainable development. This might be an undergraduate student specialising in biological sciences who is thinking about a career in conservation or a mid-career professional who is thinking about pivoting to a more impact-driven field.
Our online courses apply to a wide range of causes you might like to work towards, much like our in-person programs that are all aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
