Dear Student/Colleague
The Fisheries, Wildlife & Conservation Biology
program in conjunction with the Study Abroad
Office at North Carolina State University offers
a three week study abroad program to Namibia
(south western Africa) from May 15 to June 04,
2011. Namibia is one of Africas most stable and
safest countries to travel to with a good
infrastructure and a well developed tourism industry.
This is a unique opportunity for students to
explore and experience Africa while studying and
gaining valuable knowledge about African
wildlife-, savanna- and desert ecology, park
management, conservation, ecotourism and
ecological sampling techniques. Students will
visit various ecosystems, conduct field work,
participate in discussions and field lectures,
track desert elephants, enjoy game drives and
bushwalks. The highlights of this trip are the
Namib Desert, Damaraland, Etosha National Park
and the Cheetah Conservation Fund. The program
will be directed by Dr Dörgeloh, a wildlife
ecologist with extensive knowledge and many years
experience in southern Africa. The program is
open to students from any university or college.
