The aim of this course is to learn the importance of ecological corridors and wildlife corridors in terms of ecosystem integrity, corridor types, corridor design, monitoring and management of the ecological corridors.
Definitions and concepts of ecological corridors, ecological corridor types, ecological corridor design, monitoring of ecological corridors, management of ecological corridors, the national and international applications about ecological corridors.
