The primary objective of this course is to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices in nature conservation, covering the historical, legal, and biological aspects. A special focus will be placed on the key critical parameters to monitor nature conservation, including biodiversity.
Through this course, students will gain a deep insight into the various strategies and methodologies employed in the conservation of species, ecosystems, and protected areas, including forests, wetlands, and non-forest habitats. The course aims to develop competences in the application of conservation laws and policies, both at a national and international level, including familiarity with conventions such as CITES and EU’s NATURA 2000 framework. Students will be prepared to engage in practical conservation efforts, applying knowledge in habitat management, species protection, and the administration of conservation initiatives. Through hands-on examples and case studies, the course seeks to foster a comprehensive skill set enabling graduates to contribute effectively to nature conservation projects and policy development.
