Wildlife Conservation Technology
Wildlife Conservation Technology combines outdoor fieldwork with classroom learning. Students study plant and animal ecology, environmental chemistry, map use and analysis, canoe safety, and wildlife management. The program includes field camps with habitat and night animal surveys, parks and wildlife rehabilitation centre tours, and wildlife-human interaction studies. Students complete 160 hours of on-the-job training and participate annually in songbird banding contributing to regional and global migration research. Graduates may pathway into a Bachelor of Wildlife Conservation at UPEI.
