Ready to learn about wildlife research in urban environments? Check out this online course!
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The world is increasingly urban, and understanding human-wildlife interactions and conflict is critically important when developing conservation strategies. Conducting ecological research in human-dominated landscapes such as cities, villages, and farmlands presents a unique set of challenges ranging from vandalism to poor buy-in by residents. In this class, learn best practices for conducting research in human-dominated landscapes, including both recommendations for practical considerations (e.g., safety) and ways to explore and integrate the sociodemographic landscape into a robust research design that investigates how wildlife and people utilize shared landscapes.
