Title |
Methods in conservation research and planning, lecture with practical |
Description |
Registration deadline 16 September in KSL.
Applied ecology is a young crisis discipline undergoing a major effectiveness revolution. In most situations, urgent action is necessary, even in the absence of reliable information. How do we gather sound ecological information? How do we use it to plan natural communities conservation? In the process of answering these questions, wildlife ecologists often realize that research and practice are just two sides of the same coin.
The goal of the course is to teach students some of the skills they will need as evidence-based conservationists. Practical examples will be drawn from various ecosystems, communities and species. The course will revolve around the stages of adaptive management:
− monitoring ecological resources, monitoring occupancy and abundance
− research syntheses (systematic reviews and meta-analyses)
− ecological triage (systematic conservation planning and red lists)
− natural communities conservation planning and legislative context |
