Provide hands-on experience in using modern scientific methods, techniques and tools that are essential contributors to conservation practices in the field. Transfer skills of writing scientific documents and making persuasive presentations.
Develop skills for preparation of an integrated scientific wildlife management plan.
Prepare the participant for meeting conservation challenges in the field.
