    Sobre el programa

    Our research internships bridge the gap between academic learning and hands-on field experience. Participants develop practical field skills and research knowledge while working on real-world projects, preparing them for careers in field-based research. Interns gain valuable practical and theoretical experience in data collection and management, field research methods and strategies, and develop an in-depth understanding of specific local research issues. We feel this is important because field scientists often lack practical training in the field.


    While here students will learn how to use remote bioacoustic monitoring equipment such as PAMs. Students will analyse data collected by these remote recording devices and interpret results. This project is important because we aim to assess how the loss of big carnivores affect ecosystems by comparing them to intact ecosystems like Kruger. 

    Students must be self-starters, eager to learn new things and fit. We will deploy PAMs at a range of different sites and hiking in difficult terrain is required. Please make sure you are able to do this. Sites include big five reserves, local communities, urban areas and reserves with plains game. You will be required to do extensive health and safety. The minimum required stay is 2 weeks as there is a certain amount of training required.
