Wildlife Conservation Course 2017 at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus

“Danger is afoot – the world’s carnivores are disappearing! Equipped with superhero powers, a team of Southeast Asian environmentalists have just 13 days to save the world’s carnivores from extinction.”

This may sound like the plot for an action movie, but it’s actually the basis for a conservation education course that equips conservationists to handle all-too-real environmental challenges.

Devised and directed by University of Oxford Postdoctoral Researcher and Educator Cedric Tan, ‘Wildlife Conservation Course 2017’ will use team challenges to immerse students into educational scenarios that engage the mind and develop conservation skills.

Coming up in July-Aug 2017, the “Conservation Heroes” edition is actually the third course of its kind. “The courses in 2015 and 2016 were a huge success,” Cedric said.  “Students went away impressed and inspired, players bonded, and we built capacity among those working in governmental and non-governmental organisations to protect wildlife and the environment.”

To apply send your CV and a short personal statement to Dr Cedric Tan at cedric.tan@zoo.ox.ac.uk. Please note that the deadline for applications has been extended to Monday 19th June 2017.
