Subject: Transdisciplinary Human-Wildlife Conflict Management & Resolution (Online)
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Management of human-wildlife conflicts is considered to be one of the most challenging tasks for wildlife management agencies around the world.

Dr. Can blends scientific evidence of several academic disciplines (e.g., ecology, wildlife management, psychology, cognitive neuroscience) and 25 years of real-world experience to help participants develop a deep and holistic understanding of human-wildlife conflicts and equip them with the practical skills necessary to develop human-wildlife conflict management plans.
PREREQUISITES: None, but having sense of humor, open-mindedness and critical thinking skills would be helpful.
