Undergrad Student Projects – South Africa
From a student perspective the field of monitoring offers a bounty of opportunities for data collection – whether it be as simple as recording a location and noting the surrounding habitat – through to dung collection and DNA analyses. Students and wildlife researchers could ask for access to previous information collected before they arrived so as to enhance their data set and research projects. Time spent with Wildlife ACT can help ensure that meaningful wildlife conservation projects are developed.
A four week course offering practical, hands-on training, underpinned by course material carefully developed by experts. Provides a unique understanding of the most up-to-date, in-field conservation techniques and practices, for nature enthusiasts or those considering a career in conservation. Includes practical Big 5 monitoring, data collection and research, learning about wildlife management and ecological principles, supporting research goals on the reserve, and engaging in habitat and reserve management activities as part of Wildlife ACT’s ongoing conservation programmes.
