WCTWC701: WILDLIFE COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT

This module is intended for students pursuing TVET Advanced Diploma in Wildlife and Conservation Technologies. It describes the skills and knowledge required to collect and manage plant and animal specimens. These wildlife collections offer a wealth of information and represent a baseline to guide conservation, restoration, and species-replacement efforts. In addition, the specimens provide material for research on evolution and species distribution. Our ability to understand the natural world depends on the collection, preparation, preservation, and ongoing study of biological specimens.
