This module provides an overview of the interacting ethical, welfare and conservation issues of topical interest in the management of wildlife. A key theme relates to the dilemmas that can arise from conflicting concerns for individual animal welfare and the conservation of species, populations or communities. The lecture material addresses topics from a wide range of disciplines (e.g. conservation biology, population biology, veterinary medicine, economics) which aims to provide the student with a context for evaluating welfare and conservation priorities.
