Forestry and Wildlife Management is a four-year undergraduate programme that equips students with practical and theoretical knowledge in forest ecosystem conservation, timber production, wildlife biology, land use planning, and natural resource policy. Students explore subjects such as dendrology, silviculture, fauna management, environmental law, and geographic information systems as they apply to Nigeria's diverse ecological zones. Graduates are well-positioned to pursue careers as forest rangers, wildlife conservationists, environmental consultants, and natural resource managers within government agencies like the Federal Department of Forestry or state forestry commissions. Private conservation organisations and international environmental bodies also actively recruit qualified graduates. The Forestry Association of Nigeria serves as a key professional body supporting practitioners in this field throughout their careers.
