How It Works
Not able to travel, yet want to sink your teeth into conservation?
CRC's Virtual Wildlife Research, Education, and Conservation (WREC) course is a one-on-one mentorship experience that provides a strong foundation in scientific research, conservation, and management based on the crocodile related research conducted by the CRC countrywide. The knowledge gained from the topics we cover and how we approach topics, can be used for research and conservation of other wildlife species.
Our virtual WREC courses include the following topics:
- Crocodile evolution, biology, and genetics
- Ethnozoology and community outreach
- Analysis of scientific data
- Crocodile population research methodology
- Mangrove restoration and conservation
- Crocodile disease and necropsy
- Crocodile rehabilitation
- Crocodile target training and behavior
- Discussion of how climate change and pollution is currently impacting crocodile species (i.e., other wildlife species).
