SCVET3001 Case Studies in Animal Management
This unit will provide an opportunity to explore the problems and threats to animal species in the human environment. A series of case studies allows students to explore issues raised by agricultural production techniques and in the management of pest species. In addition, natural animal populations are under significant stress due to human impacts including climate change and habitat destruction. Students will explore examples of topical issues in these various systems for a range of animal species and will develop possible solutions. Students will carry out research and analysis for each of the case studies and present their findings to their peers, lecturers and industry experts. Success in the subject will depend on the student`s ability to work in groups and individually to produce oral and written reports exploring solutions to current and difficult scientific and ethical issues.
