Then you’ll explore real-life examples of conservation situations and the relevant case studies outlining the steps taken to address and find solutions to global conservation issues. This will allow you to join in-depth discussions around conservation practices and policies on issues such as poaching, climate change, habitat destruction, invasive species and mineral exploitation.
Next, you’ll learn about scenarios in which positive action has been taken in increasing the population numbers of endangered species, managing protected areas and setting aside areas of habitat for wildlife and plant species.
Finally, you’ll have time to reflect on what can be done to aid in the future of wildlife conservation. This will touch on how contributing to conservation data can help to develop governmental policies in conservation and how working with the support and participation of local communities can ensure the success and sustainability of conservation initiatives.
