UCAS Code: C390 - Institution Code: CORN C78. Zoological conservation is concerned with maintaining the wonderful diversity of animal life (including invertebrates) that exists on our planet and involves the protection and management of animal populations and their habitats in order to minimise the harmful effects human activities may have on them. The course gives you the skills required to help conserve wild animals by developing your knowledge in topics such as ecology, biodiversity, animal nutrition, captive breeding and reintroduction, conservation of aquatic organisms and primate behaviour and learning. You will also gain first hand experience in observing, surveying and the occasional handling of animals. As well as traditional lectures, fieldwork and laboratory work, you will take part in workshops delivered by animal and wildlife experts from organisations such as the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, National Trust and RSPCA. Guest speakers play an important role in your learning and they are used regularly to provide more expert knowledge in some of the specialised modules.
