Fish and Wildlife Service

Description

Facilitate the development of the next generation of conservation professionals with the goal to enable these professionals to address conservation under changing climate and rising sea levels. The specific goal is to prepare students for practical work experience in conservation biology and to support the FWS in recruiting qualified students for related employment opportunities. The project will lay the basis for a long-term sustained teaching program tailored to meet the needs of federal agencies engaged in conservation in terms of conservation professionals, including those at leadership levels. The teaching program will include service learning components and internships to ensure a high level of practical experience. The teaching program will be linked to a research program in conservation to ensure state-of-the-art teaching contents.
