Training young, pioneering conservationists around the world is perhaps the most effective, long-term means of placing wild creatures and their habitats in safe hands.

Wildlife Preservation Canada's sister organisation, the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, runs unique courses in good conservation practice, both at its International Training Centre in Jersey and in locations around the world.

Its students are scientists from developing countries who are in a prime position to save animals from extinction.

Since the early 80's when the International Training Centre for the Conservation and Management of Endangered Species (ITC) was established on the Channel Island of Jersey, the Trust has trained over 1,000 zoologists, wildlife officers and conservation biologists, including 16 Canada's New Noahs who have completed the program.

The DESMAN is a four month course consisting of a series of lectures and workshops, practical placements within different sections of the zoo and an independent research project.
