Wildlife Conservation 3.1.2The Galapagos Islands provide the perfect example of how humans threaten wildlife. The tutor leading this topic has spent time on the Islands and offers a thought provoking talk about the current threats and conservation techniques. Alongside plenty of photos and video clips!
Local sites such as Studland Beach NNR (and SSI) and Durlston Country Park NNR provide the best places to study Habitat Conservation.
It may even be possible to visit the popular and near bye, Monkey World
