Wildlife Lectures

University of Maryland Extension's Woodland Wildlife webinar series - February 7, 2013
Principles of Wildlife Ecology and Management, presented by Jim Mullan, Wildlife Biologist, Maryland Dept. of Natural Resources Wildlife and Heritage Service.

Biodiversity conservation- This lecture explains about the conservation of biodiversity.Conservation is the defense, maintenance, management, or restoration of wildlife and traditional assets akin to forests and water. Via the conservation of biodiversity the survival of many species and habitats which might be threatened due to human events will also be ensured. Other explanations for conserving biodiversity incorporate securing useful typical resources for future generations and protecting the health of eco-system features.
Conservation can commonly be divided into two types:

In-situ: Conservation of habitats, species and ecosystems the place they naturally occur. This is in-situ conservation and the typical tactics and interplay are conserved as good as the elements of biodiversity.

Ex-situ: The conservation of elements of biodiversity out of the context of their normal habitats is known as ex-situ conservation. Zoos, botanical gardens and seed banks are all illustration of ex-situ conservation.

In-situ conservation shouldn't be normally possible as habitats will have been degraded and there is also competition for land because of this species have got to be removed from the field to save them
Threatened Species

Over the last 200 years many species have turn out to be extinct and the extinction price is on the develop because of the have an impact on of human pastime. The fame of species has been assessed on a global scale by means of the sector Conservation Union. Taxa that are dealing with a excessive chance of worldwide extinction are catalogued and highlighted within the IUCN purple record of Threatened Species.
Threatened Habitats

Habitat destruction comes in many forms from clear felling of forests to easy alterations in farming practices that fluctuate the total surrounding habitat. If a habitat is degraded or disappears a species may additionally become threatened. The united kingdom is in chance of losing various habitats starting from lowland calcareous grassland to mudflats and wet woodland.

Tanzania is uniquely rich in wildlife and natural resources, with over 28% of the country directly protected through national parks, game reserves, forest reserves and other conservation areas. However protected areas are not sufficient to alone accommodate wildlife migration patterns, which often run outside these zones causing conflicts with the populations settled there.

In 1998, USAID joined hands with the Government of Tanzania, other donors and conservation NGOs, to undertake a bold new approach in community based conservation. Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs), which are community owned and managed conservation areas, have emerged as the best hope for mitigating human-wildlife conflict outside protected areas.

This documentary gives a brief overview of the process for establishing a WMA, the challenges, as well as prospects in making WMAs economically viable as wildlife conservation enterprises.

Most often black in color, North America's most common bear species may also be brown, cinnamon, or blond. Over 25,000 black bears make their home in Oregon and, although they range across much of our state, prefer forests, trails and streams. Black bear are good swimmers and climbers and are omnivorous, with a diet that includes berries, fruit, grasses and plants. Although they occasionally eat small mammals and insects, black bear are normally not active predators.

Doug Cottam, District Wildlife Biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, talks about the life history of black bear and conflict with people. Doug has noted a significant reduction in bear problems along the mid-coast and will discuss why he thinks this has happened.

The story of wildlife management and conservation in the United States is a story of national and natural history. The people that helped save North America's native fauna are some of the same ones who moved American democracy forward. The policies that were put in place are born from those democratic ideals. This video tells the story of wildlife management in North America, from the darkest days where many species were on the brink of extinction to the more recent times that have seen the recovery of many of those species.

This video was originally developed to accompany Lesson 1 from America's Wildlife: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, a high school level curriculum available for free from the Arizona Game and Fish Department. For more information, visit

The Architectural Reconstruction of Urban Nature

1: Architecture and Landscape Architecture Lecture Series showcases expert educators and practitioners from around the world. Reflecting on one topic from their individual fields of expertise, they share unique perspectives and insights into the fields of architecture and landscape architecture.

The talk provides an overview of Gissen's past and recent projects examining how architecture has, and can be, a tool to reconstruct both the things and ideas that constitute urban forms of nature.

About David Gissen
David Gissen, a historian, and theorist of architecture and urbanism, is Associate professor of architecture at the California College of the Arts, San Francisco. Widely published in journals and academic anthologies, he is the author of Subnature: Architecture's Other Environments (Princeton Architectural Press, 2009), and his study of New York City from the late 1960s through the early '80s, Manhattan Atmospheres: Architecture, the Interior Environment, and Urban Crisis, will be published by University of Minnesota Press this December.

The Wildlife Trusts: 100 years of nature conservation is a documentary film telling the story of The Wildlife Trusts. From its inception as the Society for the Promotion of Nature Reserves in 1912 under the leadership of Charles Rothschild, to the birth of the local conservation movement after WWII, through its dramatic growth in the 1960s to the present day.

The film visits locations such as Skomer, Loch of the Lowes, Brockholes, Flamborough Head, Woodwalton Fen and Ballynahone Bog. It also uses archive footage from Trusts, the BBC and other sources. Interviewees include Sir David Attenborough, Prof Aubrey Manning, Simon King, Ted Smith, Stephanie Hilborne, Hilary Benn MP and trustees, staff and volunteers from around the Trusts. The film is narrated by the actor Sam West, directed by Sarah Pitt and produced by Environment Films.

Many Wildlife Trusts are showing the full hour-long film at local 'our history' screenings.

The National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC) is the research arm of the USDA's Wildlife Services program. The NWRC is charged with developing methods to resolve conflicts between humans and wildlife, spanning the areas of agriculture and natural resource protection, invasive species, wildlife disease, and product development. The broad scope of the NWRC missions illustrates the various levels wildlife interact with human activities, both positively and negatively. It is when the latter occurs that the NWRC becomes engaged to develop methods in a socially sensitive and responsible way to resolve those conflicts. NWRC scientists address issues in a multidisciplinary manner ranging from molecular and analytical chemical disciplines to ecological and wildlife management approaches. Regardless of the scientific approach, NWRC also address risks and solutions to problems within the social and economic context of management, public policy, and various public-private perspectives. Examples illustrating the range and integration of approaches will be discussed.
