Course Director
Introduction
Being able to design evidence-based, feasible projects that will deliver positive conservation impacts is crucial in conservation leadership. Yet often projects fail to deliver, making conservation interventions either ineffective or at times even counterproductive.
This 30 credit module, Conservation Impact, will cover the theoretical and practical elements necessary to avoid these issues, including scoping knowledge gaps and determining appropriate methodology to assess impact depending on both internal and external factors, such as organisation's budget and capacity, or logistics.
The module will include teaching from conservation practitioners. Content will also be supported by case studies, emphasizing the need to use evidence-based approaches to achieve success in conservation projects.
Key Facts
In partnership with Bristol Zoological Society
