Wildlife Ecology
Offered By: NPTEL via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Course Outline: Wildlife is an enamoring field for most of us. In my professional tenure, I’ve observed numerous people flocking to get a glimpse of the tiger, to get an opportunity of diving with the fishes, or to get access to a National Park or a Wildlife Sanctuary. And these experiences gets even more endearing when you get to know how the show is getting managed, how and why we regulate access, and also how we maintain grasslands and water bodies to keep the systems up and running. This course will cover one such aspect of wildlife management by providing an overview of the field of Ecology.
