Course Overview
Restoration plans must consider the needs of current or desired wildlife species in project areas. This course gives students the tools they need to understand essential ecological concepts, helping them to design restoration projects that can improve conditions for native species of wildlife. This course interweaves theoretical and practical aspects of wildlife biology that are directly applicable to the restoration and conservation of animals. It provides an understanding of the fundamentals of wildlife populations and wildlife-habitat relationships as it explores the concept of habitat, its historical development, components, spatial-temporal relationships, and role in land management. It applies these concepts to develop practical tools for professionals.
