It also teaches students the scientific principles of corridor ecology, landscape ecology and ecosystem (adaptive) management. Students are trained in Level 2 advanced wildlife tracking and monitoring, field-based practices and scientific protocols. This degree program teaches future wildlife corridor technicians to apply wildlife corridor principles, theory, and technology to assist in the preservation, protection and restoration of native species and ecosystems. It also teaches them skills useful in helping develop a regional habitat conservation plan (local) and/or natural community and conservation plan (state). Student Learning Outcomes - upon completion, students will be able to: investigate the practice and technology of wildlife corridors (connectivity or linking landscapes). utilize the terminology, concepts, and principles of the environmental sciences, corridor ecology, landscape ecology, ecosystem (adaptive) management, and the Rapid Assessment Methodology (RAM) developed at De Anza College. examine local wildlife in the field and the core corridor areas these species utilize. examine the data analysis equipment and processes used in wildlife corridor technology in the field. apply corridor ecology and connectivity concepts and techniques, including the Rapid Assessment Methodology, to local and statewide corridor cases to develop strategic community-based, collaborative efforts that preserve, protect, and restore native species, ecosystems and the landscape. communicate with key stakeholders - government, resource agencies, agriculture, industry, the public, non-profits - the importance of the relationship between corridor ecology/connectivity and the public good, particularly enhanced global, cultural, social and environmental well-being.
