MSc in Wildlife Conservation and Management

MSc in Wildlife Conservation and Management

The MSc in Wildlife Conservation and Management programme focuses on the traditional knowledge, recent developments and new challenges of applied ecology and wildlife science. It integrates theoretical principles, practical developments, aspects of the human dimension of wildlife management, and quantitative methods to educate professionals for coping with the challenges of the 21st century.

Background of Wildlife Conservation and Management

The continuing coexistence of human society and wildlife species requires a well balanced compromise between the needs of modern society and the conditions for wild species to survive and propagate.

The evolution of wildlife conservation and management over the past 50 years is a fascinating story of how humans relate to the environment and the use of natural resources. Changes in human societies, new agricultural technologies and industrial developments have resulted in habitat losses, resource overuse and the global crisis from the loss of biodiversity.

The transformation of the former field of game management and recreational hunting to the modern science of wildlife conservation and management started at least half a century ago. Although the wildlife profession remains strongly rooted in game management, the field has expanded to non-game species, threatened or endangered species and pests or invasive species. Depending on the situation, wildlife management can mean conservation of declining populations or control of over-abundant populations. The new generation of wildlife professionals need a sound knowledge of ecological principles and applications, the ability to use traditional methods and innovative technologies, and an understanding of the interactions between wildlife and our society.
