Conservation Management & Practice focuses on key aspects of the practicalities of the conservation and management of species and habitats. Specifically, zoo legislation and governance, environmental enrichment and breeding techniques for conservation of species. Nature conservation and the factors that influence it along with landscape scale conservation and providing the evidence base will be discussed, using coastal grazing marsh as a case study. We will include specific site assessments around Essex taking into account evaluation, implementation and management planning. Detailed case studies will be used from both Colchester Zoo and Essex Wildlife Trust.
