Programme Overview
Training Description

This course targets individuals working with wildlife especially the vets, tour guides, rangers, and all persons interested in learning about how to use GPS on wildlife.

Session Objectives
  • To introduce participants to the principles of GIS and Remote Sensing To introduce participants to concepts of wildlife management and conservation To expose participants to data capture, input, manipulation and display by GIS To introduce participants to GPS/GNSS systems To explain to the participants GIS database requirement and development for wildlife management and conservation To introduce participants to the application GIS and Remote Sensing techniques in wildlife management and conservation To develop sound basis of understanding applications of GIS and RS in Wildlife management and conservation through case studies
About the Course

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) involve collecting/capturing, storing, processing, manipulating, analyzing, managing, retrieving and displaying geo-referenced data. Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object. Wildlife management requires reliable and consistent information on the abundance, distribution of species and their habitats as well as threats. Therefore, the application of remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) in the wildlife management and conservation aids in data collection and analysis of wildlife abundance, their distribution as well as providing data suitable for conservation planning and management.

How does Pebbles Institute bridge theory and practice?

Our curriculum is explicitly designed around actionable, real-world case studies and frameworks (such as IPSAS, GFS, and climate-smart agriculture models). Rather than relying purely on academic lectures, our programs utilize quantitative tools, interactive exercises, and strategic analytics to ensure immediate workplace application.

If you are unable to attend, you must notify us in writing at least 7 days before the course start date. You may choose to nominate a qualified substitute colleague at no additional cost or defer your enrolment to the next scheduled cohort for that program.

Registering is simple. Browse our training catalog, select your desired course, and click the "Book to Register" button. Fill out the brief registration form with your details, and a training coordinator will contact you within 24 hours to provide the admission letter and payment details.

Yes. We specialize in corporate capacity building. Corporate sponsorships and group registrations can be coordinated directly through our admissions team. We also offer customized, in-house versions of our courses if you have a team of five or more participants.

Our primary residential and corporate training programs are hosted in premium, fully equipped conference facilities in Nairobi, Kenya. We also coordinate regional and international training locations depending on the specific cohort and organizational requirements. Exact venue details are communicated in your admission letter.

Most of our professional short courses are structured as intensive 5- or 10-day programs to minimize extended workplace absence while maximizing skill acquisition. We also offer compressed 1-to-3-day masterclasses.
