This course examines the practical interface between conservation theories and implementation, examining how conservation approaches are applied in practice to conserve species, habitats and ecosystems, to inform policy-makers and to integrate stakeholders.
This is an interactive course that encourages debate and discussion. The course aims to bridge the gap between the theory you will have learnt in second year Conservation Biology and the applied conservation issues of the world today. You will be able to meet a range of academics, as well as policy advisers and practitioners from various organisations through a field visit and guest speakers, and we hope this enhances your awareness and enjoyment of the subject.
The lectures, discussions, tutorials and fieldtrip will provide insights into the professional environmental sector which may influence your career decisions. By producing a research grant proposal, an infographic and critiquing current issues, you will gain practice in skills relevant to the practical implementation of conservation goals, providing you with the opportunity to develop transferable skills in synthesising and displaying information, critical evaluation and research project design.
