Subject: Student field experiences in South Africa

Greetings from South Africa. I am a conservation biology research associate at the School of Life Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal. I have an active research profile covering a range of topics, but focusing mostly on marine sciences, ornithology, and anthropogenic impact research.

Together with my colleague Elton du Plooy, we have put together some exciting short-term fieldwork opportunities for International undergraduate and recent graduate students to gain valuable field experience in the conservation field in the Western Cape region of South Africa. These opportunities are based on our combined experience working in research and conservation, and our passion for providing experiential opportunities for early career researchers to gain hands-on practical experience and to better understand the range of career opportunities available in the conservation arena. Building on the success of our sister company, Live4Now, with a track record of veterinary science excursions for visiting students of over a decade, Discover Eden is well placed to see your students expectations fulfilled.

We would love to provide these opportunities to your institutions students and were hopeful you would be open to exploring this with us, or at least passing the information on to your students. We offer a two-week marine biology field course, and a three-week ecology course. For more information about who we are and what we do, please see the PDF’s below, or visit https://discovereden.co.za.

Kind regards

Mark
