Wildlife Conservation

Studying this Wildlife Conservation course offered by Liverpool John Moores University offers you the exciting opportunity to take part in a field trip to Croatia, where you will stay at the Kryka National Park Research Centre.

The field site presents possibilities to work in outstanding mountain and freshwater ecosystems, where you will conduct research projects on a huge array of vertebrate and invertebrate species, survey large reforestation projects or assess the impact of wildfires in the region. You will have access to cutting-edge technologies, such as drones, camera traps and acoustic sensors, to perform fundamental and applied research. Professional researchers and local experts will be on hand to guide your learning.

Wildlife conservation is an exciting field of study that has important implications for the way in which we manage our world. With an increasing global population, conserving our wildlife becomes more complicated and conservationists are increasingly using technology such as drones, camera traps and acoustic sensors to help them with their efforts.
