Why study Parks and Wildlife Management?

People working in Parks and Wildlife Management, depending one their area of specialisation, may be involved in the management of national parks, marine parks, conservation areas, nature reserves, recreation areas or other protected areas and natural resources. In their day-to-day work they may assist with educating visitors, patrolling parks and waterways for law enforcement, undertaking surveys and monitoring on the condition of natural and culturally significant features, ensure the protection of endangered animals and plants, assist in research projects and wildlife management projects, supervise and coordinate fire management, weed eradication and pest-control programs, and undertake park maintenance activities including campgrounds and walking tracks. This program targets students interested in natural resource management. Courses provide a balance between the conservation strategies for our natural environments (including marine) and wildlife management. Graduates have the skills and perspectives necessary to address complex conservation issues within the context of socio-economic-political expectations.
