Certificate in Wildlife Conservation and Management
Help protect wildlife and the places they live.
Protect wildlife and habitats
Habitat loss, climate change and human–wildlife conflict all put pressure on wild animal populations. The Certificate in Wildlife Conservation and Management explains how wildlife is studied and managed, covering ecology, habitats, population dynamics, carrying capacity, censuses, management techniques and wildlife law.
The conservation module looks at threatened species recovery, habitat conservation, flora and fauna surveys, marine conservation and planning for wildlife, with research projects to apply what you learn. It suits conservation volunteers and anyone considering further study in environmental or wildlife management.
