<p>Wildlife Ecology and Conservation explores the knowledge and skills required to conserve and manage wildlife species, populations and communities. There is a strong focus on how wildlife are managed in contemporary landscapes, exploring the impact of processes such as fragmentation, urbanisation and utalisation of wildlife. The conservation of wildife species is considered in detail including the policy and regulatory frameworks, the establishment of conservation priorities and the practicality of implementing conservation actions.</p>
