Hi!
I'm looking into online courses to learn about different techniques to monitor wildlife using telemetry, GPS... Does anyone know about online courses in which I could learn how to monitor different vertebrate species and use the data collected? It needs to be very practical because I want to apply this knowledge in my work in a protected area. I don't mind paying fees, I could pay up to 400€ aprox. if the course is good.
Thanks a lot! Looking forward to your answers.

Hi Silvesru,
We're hosting a tutorial tomorrow about how to use GPS satellite tages to monitor giraffe - this could be a good starting point! If you check out our youtube channel we have a lot of other talks about selecting and using tags on different species. See the links below

Animove is running a course this summer (costs) though also has free online materials (lots of videos, linked below). Requires advanced R-coding skills to start with, if that suits you.
