Curriculum
Learn about central concepts of wildlife conservation such as ‘biodiversity’, the economic valuation of biodiversity and the methods of valuation. This course will also explore how you can manage and improve the habitats of wildlife.
Then, it will show you how you can estimate the rate of species loss, the factors driving species towards extinction and how wildlife can be monitored. You will learn about habitat degradation, loss, fragmentation and displacement. Also, you will be introduced to the management of wildlife diseases, studying the horizontal and vertical transmission of diseases and what a ‘host’ is.
This course also explains the capturing and restraining of wild animals, and you will be shown some capture and restrain situations as an illustration. Furthermore, you will learn about conservation genetics and Mendel's laws of genetics before being introduced to in-situ and ex-situ conservation and the concept of zoos.
