BIO2711 Field Studies in Wildlife Conservation

This course is designed to give students an opportunity to explore issues of wildlife conservation in a case-study, lab-based format. Students will participate in a systematic collection of scientific data through village interviews and field surveys culminating in a presentation and a research report. Students will speak to regional wildlife officials and members of the local community, gaining a larger context for the local wildlife issues. Students will participate in data collection of animal and plant species through transect, sign, camera and animal tracking surveys in association with local researchers, keeping a field journal of these and other activities. Based on readings and the course activities, students will learn about data collection, database management, basic data analysis, and write a comprehensive lab report. At the conclusion of the course, students will have a comprehensive, multi-dimensional understanding of the inherent complexities of wildlife conservation issues. Credits: 4.000
