Planning a conservation project? These three questions are a useful place to begin:

What are we trying to protect?
What is putting it at risk?
How could our action help?

Our Conservation Planning with the Conservation Standards course helps participants connect these questions to goals, strategies, and ways to assess progress.

The online course includes instructor support and collaborative group assignments.

What keeps conservation projects going?

Protecting habitats and wildlife takes sustained funding. Finding an approach that fits a project means considering its goals, the people involved, and its longer-term needs.

Our online Financing Conservation course explores tools such as payments for ecosystem services and environmental markets, alongside their practical challenges.

Study online January 19–May 2, 2027, with course formats offering different levels of instructor support.

Early bird ends December 20, 2026.

There’s a lot of learning behind a moment like this.

Preparation, teamwork, animal care, and monitoring all matter when working with wildlife. Here, participants collect hair from a black bear during a previous CWS capture and chemical immobilization course.

Our Wildlife Capture and Chemical Immobilization course starts online on January 19, 2027, with Dr. Terry Kreeger. Optional field training follows May 17–20 in Stacy, Minnesota.

Ever photographed an insect and then realised you have no idea what it is?

An identification key helps you work through observable features, using paired choices to narrow things down.

If you’d like to take that curiosity further, Dr. Shira Gordon’s online Entomology series explores insect biology, ecology, and identification.

Take one, two, or all three units. The first begins January 19, 2027; the identification unit starts March 29.

You’ve collected the data. Now comes the “which model?” question.

Wildlife counts, curved relationships, and repeat surveys can call for different approaches. These three images introduce some of the tools ecologists use to make sense of their data.

Want to build your skills in R? Our online Generalized Linear, Additive, and Mixed Models course starts January 19, 2027, with Dr. David Fletcher.

Learn at your own pace, with options for instructor support. You’ll need basic statistical knowledge and some experience fitting models in R.

People sharing a landscape with wildlife can have very different experiences, and different ideas about what should happen next.

Understanding the risks they face, their priorities, and whose voices are being heard is part of working towards coexistence.

Our online Human–Wildlife Conflict & Coexistence course with Dr. Emre Can explores ecological and human perspectives, helping learners understand conflict and consider approaches to managing it.

Starts 19 January 2027.

Before you make that video, think about the people you want to reach.

What do you want them to understand or do? And how will you know whether your message worked?

Explore these questions in our online Multimedia Conservation Communication course with Justin Grubb. Learn about storytelling and planning your message, then bring your ideas together into a communication plan for your own work.

Starts 19 January 2027.
