Zoological Courses:

BeWild have been motivated to run this special hands-on and intensive course in recognition of the need to conserve globally important biodiversity in Southern Africa and biodiverse áreas, which are also hotspots for wildlife diseases and conflict. The increasing number of conflicts and new discovered pathologies and conflict, makes extremely urgent the need for greater expertise in, and greater number of wildlife health professionals to tackle them. Such wildlife health professionals are needed to undertake interventions in the health, welfare and conservation of wild animals to investigate emerging infectious diseases and to ensure human well-being. Participants will carry out a variety of practical and theoretical work, where they are given as many changes of possible to have a hands-on learning experience.
