Master of Ecosystem Management and Conservation
As our ecosystems and land management sectors change, how we study and work with them must change too.
Work with stakeholders
Land management agencies and industries can spend as much as 30% of their time consulting with the community and other stakeholders. So an advanced understanding of how people live with, use and feel about the ecosystems that surround them is increasingly important for all land management professionals.
Throughout this course, you'll build hands-on, practical skills in the management of our biophysical environment while learning to successfully consult and collaborate with communities and other stakeholders.
