鱼类和野生动物技术员文凭（可选）

鱼类和野生生物管理的目的是确保有足够数量的优质栖息地，以使野生种群繁衍繁衍，并确保野味物种得到可持续管理。这不仅需要有关动物的知识，还需要有关其栖息地以及人们如何与它们互动的知识。因此，鱼类和野生动植物管理已经发展成为一个多学科的，以科学为基础的专业，该专业将我们的毕业生带往加拿大乃至整个加拿大的各个方向。鱼类和野生动植物专业人士所需要的理论和技能是通过应用学习活动来教授的，需要大量时间在实验室和现场进行动手工作。第三学期的学生在野外学校度过了五个星期，重点是渔业，野生动植物，陆地栖息地，湿地和淡水生态学
If you have a love for the outdoors, a keen interest in fish and wildlife, and a commitment to responsible resource management, then the Fish and Wildlife TechnicianTechnology program may be for you. Fish and wildlife management is an important aspect of modern society as it helps to conserve and maintain healthy populations of fish and wildlife, their habitats, and biodiversity. Effective management practices ensure the long-term sustainability of these resources and help mitigate the impacts of human activities such as overfishing, hunting, and habitat destruction. By understanding the interrelationships between species, habitats, and human activities, wildlife managers can make informed decisions about how to conserve and manage these resources. This is especially important as the world's growing human population continues to put increasing pressure on wildlife and their habitats. Through fish and wildlife management, we can protect important ecosystem services, conserve biodiversity, and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from these resources.<br><br>The theory and skills required by fish and wildlife professionals are taught through applied learning activities with a significant amount of time doing hands-on work in the lab and field. Third-semester students spend five weeks in field school, focusing on the topics of fisheries, wildlife, terrestrial habitats, wetlands, and freshwater ecology. These field schools introduce new skills such as: boat handling, GPS navigation, fish netting, sampling and tagging, electrofishing, habitat assessment, wetland classification, bird banding, and use of wildlife monitoring technologies. Through these activities, students will work together to collect, analyze and present the data over the remainder of the technician-level education and training. During field excursions you will learn about the logistics involved in the design and implementation of field projects.
