Conservation Project Management

From 24 May 2021 until 27 May 2021 - CIBIO-InBIO, Vairão, Portugal
Conservation Project Management
Nowadays, it is vital that researchers can address the ongoing biodiversity crisis in a most practical way. One of the main tools to halt biodiversity decline is the development of science- and economy-based target conservation projects, either focusing in high conservation value species or areas, from protected areas to rural landscapes. The goal of this advanced course is to empower students with skills and knowledge to draft and develop projects plans and proposals for conservation. The course will be divided into four parts: project planning, drafting and management indicators, case study analysis of conservation projects, field visit and a student project proposal acceleration competition. From the large scale project to the local action, students will be prepared for the challenges of conservation, irrespective of working with governmental agencies, NGOs or private initiatives. We strongly suggest for participants to bring forth their conservation ideas!
