The Academy for Distance Learning has a history of supporting wildlife projects. The world renowned Conservationist David Youldon, Chief Operating Officer of AFRICA NEEDS LIONS completed our Advanced Certificate in Wildlife Management and with previous qualifications, went on to study a Masters in Biodiversity, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health at Edinburgh University. He was also accepted for a short course in Data Analysis in Ecology at the University of Oxford.

Currently we have the Primate Naturalist: Karin Saks, studying our Primatology course. Karin has been fostering and rehabilitating orphan baboons, caring for injured monkeys returned to the wild, plus promoting a harmonious co-existence between primates and humans since 1997. She also founded The Darwin Primate Group as a non-profit organisation in 2008 and in 2014, moved to Kwazulu Natal to research the endangered samango monkey populations in the Midlands.

As you can see, our courses are highly respected by conservationists actually working in the field to help save the wildlife of our world, so you really can trust ADL to help you develop the knowledge and skills you need, to get involved in the environmental welfare of animals.

And complete one of these two modules

Environmental Assessment BEN301 (can also be taken as an elective module if Introduction to Ecology is Chosen as a core subject)

This online course will help you learn to prepare Environmental Assessments of all kinds that comply with national and international regulations. One of the most important aspects of environmental consultancy is to be able to determine how the environment will react to change. Combine this course with a plant or animal identification and ecology course to help develop your knowledge and skills in this career path.

Or

Introduction to Ecology BEN101 (can also be taken as an elective module if Environmental Assessment is Chosen as a core subject)

Understand the way that organisms interact with our environment! Ecology provides the link between the different branches of Life Sciences, structuring them as a complete concept of life. This self paced online course covers general principles of ecology.

Elective Modules:Choose three modules from the list below

Environmental Assessment BEN301

This online course will help you learn to prepare Environmental Assessments of all kinds that comply with national and international regulations.

Combine this course with a plant or animal identification and ecology course to help develop your knowledge and skills in this career path.

Herpetology BEN209

You’ll learn how to develop your ability to understand the biological and ecological characteristics of reptiles and amphibians. The course also covers conservation issues and as well as learning how to keep them at home. Herpetology is the study of reptiles and amphibians. The term is derived from Linneas’s classification in which he combined reptiles and amphibians into the one category. Herpetology examines the biology and ecology of these animals and their importance to the planet. Herpetology as a scientific study and as a hobby can have positive impacts on the conservation of threatened reptile and amphibian species.
