We do this by performing hands-on work with species requiring direct intervention to recover and providing opportunities for Canadian conservation scientists to expand their experience working with wildlife species at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1988, Wildlife Preservation Canada has selected one post-secondary student or equivalent from across Canada to become our next Canada\u2019s New Noah. The full experience includes travel, living, and training expenses for the New Noah to participate in the Durrell Endangered Species Management Graduate Certificate (DESMAN) February to May, 2026 consisting of 12 weeks of intensive theory, at the Durrell Conservation Academy on the island of Jersey in the U.K. This is followed by 6 months of practical experience with species and habitat recovery teams saving species on the island of Mauritius and its offshore islands. In partnership with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation, this specialized training program is designed to provide New Noahs with the field experience and species and human resource management skills needed to effectively run endangered species conservation projects.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Structure<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Certificat d'\u00e9tudes sup\u00e9rieures en gestion des esp\u00e8ces en voie de disparition Durrell (DESMAN)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 12-week DESMAN course is designed to equip conservation professionals with a complete range of skills to maximise their effectiveness at managing or participating in conservation projects.\u00a0Alongside an international group of peers, you will learn the latest theory and practice of endangered species recovery, and gain a wide variety of skills in facilitation, management, and leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The program takes place on the island of Jersey at the <a href=\"https:\/\/training.durrell.org\/course\/view.php?id=19\u00a7ion=2\">Durrell Conservation Academy<\/a>. \u00a0The course features intensive taught modules by international experts, interspersed with practical work, day-long workshops and personal study and research. You will be encouraged to develop pilot research projects on a topic of relevance to wildlife conservation, and will receive coaching on skills such as writing manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals, preparing conference posters, etc. You will also get the opportunity to work with Durrell\u2019s animal and veterinary departments at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.durrell.org\/visit-jersey-zoo\/\">Jersey Zoo<\/a>, learning practical aspects of care and maintenance of animals in a captive environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topics in the course include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>biodiversity and drivers of species decline<\/li>\n<li>conservation planning and priority setting<\/li>\n<li>the role of zoos and captive breeding<\/li>\n<li>principles of animal husbandry<\/li>\n<li>conservation medicine and wildlife disease<\/li>\n<li>small population biology and genetics<\/li>\n<li>in-situ conservation techniques<\/li>\n<li>management and leadership skills<\/li>\n<li>facilitation and team skills<\/li>\n<li>GIS for conservation managers<\/li>\n<li>captive and field research skills<\/li>\n<li>education and community conservation<\/li>\n<li>fundraising and financial management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Immersive Practical Field Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following the DESMAN course, you will travel to the island of Mauritius, once the home of the ill-fated Dodo.
