Foundations of Problem Solving

This course will introduce you to the core concepts and tools required for implementing a problem-oriented approach to wildlife protection.

In the 35 lessons we first introduce you to wildlife crime problem-solving and how it can benefit you. Next, we walk you through how to pick and analyse problems, and provide basic guidance for response development.

The goal of the course is to enable you and your team to start doing a problem analysis of your own.
