Levels

Demonstrates knowledge of various aspects of biodiversity management

Understands technical components of biodiversity management such as ecologically sensitive areas (ESAs), habitat and wildlife management and conservation

Identifies human impacts (e.g. recreational pressure, pollution) on habitat and wildlife ecosystems

Demonstrates knowledge of national and international legal provisions such as Biological Diversity Act, 2002 and the Convention on Biological Diversity

Describes various technology based tools that are used for the management of coastal areas such as GIS, statistical software, surveillance technology

Contributes to designing biodiversity management programs

Identify stakeholders that need to be included in various biodiversity plans

Contributes to designing mechanisms for ecological restoration of degraded forest areas, wetlands etc. through systematic planning and implementation, in a cost effective manner

Document the afforestation, tree planting, ecological restoration and eco-development, wildlife conservation program updates (like Project Elephant, Action Plan for forests )
