Conservation of Canada’s resources is essential in the green economy. A modern conservationist is multidisciplined and provides a balanced program which includes using sustainable wildlife management techniques that will lead to a future where aquatic and wildlife ecology remain healthy and abundant. Mapping and compassing are integral skills for the Ecological Conservationist. In this microcredential, you will learn to interpret maps and develop skills in ground and map measurements. You will also learn the basics of internet mapping software. This microcredential is the first of a suite of six training opportunities to prepare participants to work as an Ecological Conservationist.

The intended audience is anyone wanting to enter the natural resource/environmental tourism sector or supplement their current training. Technicians who work in northern mines, or for environmental consulting companies, and do field sample collection, would benefit from understanding wildlife management techniques. The intended learners are Indigenous youth and adults. The earner of this microcredential will be able to describe the ecological land classification system ecology of land associated with lake ecosystems and understand resource legislation relevant to Indigenous peoples and how these topics relate to conservation management.
