On Saturday 30th January 2010 I attended my FdSc Graduation in Animal Science Husbandry and Management. Upon reflection I felt proud that I have achieved this. It has taken four years to complete it on a part-time basis in addition to working full-time. I would encourage anyone who is thinking about improving your education to do it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I have achieved so much and with the course I am now on BSc Environmental Resource Management this has opened up many avenues of friendships, colleagues, employment avenues, personal development and an interest in media. I would like to thank my friends, family and tutors for all their encouragement and support. I believe I truly have some amazing people in my support network and I will endeavour to support others. Thank you.

My name is Jenny Doolan and this is how my blog starts.

I am currently studying for my degree in BSc (Hons) Environmental Resource Management and have set up this blog on the subject of conservation and wildlife crime. Now conservation is a very large word and certainly a buzz word of the 21st Century, but what exactly is it all about?

How does Conservation affect the animal kingdom and what can we do to protect the species at risk?

Having a background in the Police, I am familiar with prosecuting offenders and the Court system. The Police have trained Officers called Wildlife Crime Officers WCO who investigate and prosecute offenders and work in conjunction with other agencies like the RSPCA to remove cruelty to animals and illegal trading plus many more preventative measures.
