This course presents students with hands-on experience in the conservation of natural and cultural resources across wilderness, rural, and urban regions of Tanzania. Students will attend courses at the world-renowned College of African Wildlife Management - Mweka (Mweka) and participate in selected projects that reflect the multifaceted demands facing conservationists in Africa. Classroom experiences will provide the foundation for further studies at the interface of ecology and wildlife management. Scientific principles and human dimensions are used to explain current strategies and techniques for managing natural and cultural resources. The curriculum will focus on how changes in land use and resource availability in Tanzanian ecosystems can be managed to assist local communities while conserving biodiversity. Experiencing the socio-political and ecological variables in Tanzania will yield an understanding of culture and life that is vital to successful conservation efforts.
