The Discover Eden Youth Conservation Program is specifically designed for schools to expose learners to the impacts people have on their environment and how to live more sustainably. The course is also very useful for those looking to explore a career in marine biology or conservation ecology. With a wide range of field-based components interspersed with topical theoretical discussions and lectures, this short course gives you the hands-on experience you have been looking for to see what being a biologist is all about. Participants come out being much more aware of the global environmental issues we face today and what individuals can do to make a difference. Conducted with fully accredited guides and partners, the course is designed to be a safe, easy-to-take-part-in, fun learning experience for your school to offer.

This activity-packed program addresses topics such as shark, seal, bird, and cetacean research and conservation, the global ocean plastic pandemic, the interface between development and coastal conservation in the marine sector, and game reserve management, ornithology, botany, biodiversity conservation, and mammal ecology in the terrestrial sector. 

Food, accommodation, and ground transport are all included in this package. Schools will need to send one staff member per group (at no cost for the course).
